The Curmudgeon and the Wormhole

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW -
This was a very interesting and engaging story. Norman is an ex-Navy, stuck-in-his-ways, anti-automation kinda guy who was raised on ‘putting in the work'. A no-nonsense master of his own domain until he gets thrown into an alternate universe where he becomes a second-class citizen working slave labor for brutish humanoids. As we watch him struggle, new things come to light and his motivation becomes heartfelt and the stakes were high. The secondary characters were genuine and Brandon was hilarious. (though this opinion not likely to be shared by people younger than say, 35)
Norman's struggles seemed genuine and I felt invested in his journey. The alien world wasn't too crazy and the ending did not end up ‘riding off into the sunset' - which i appreciate.

The author-narration is always a plus and this did not disappoint. The Bomba language was a great touch in presentation and added great flair to the story.
