About this listen
In the void between universes, a secretive organization called the Tuners works to maintain peace in the multiverse. The stability is threatened when a group of religious radicals seek to burn all those who do not believe. Jon Xiong, a 17-year-old from Montana, gets caught up in much bigger problems when the cult members appear at his home. The order wants him because he can distinguish the subtle differences of the cosmic background noise between universes. He can tune, and now he is a foot soldier stuck between those who would maintain order in the universe and those who would destroy it. Some gift tuning turned out to be.

His mother and sister hadn't made it. One afternoon in the Mall, Jon sees and follows a fair haired woman only for her to disallear. And so begins his journey, and battle, in other worls.
Narration is by Sean Winkless Hall, who reads well, his pleasant voice easy on the ear. The writing, also, is in a relaxed and easy style but, after an initially intriguing start, and an ironically humorous attitude, it becomes more banal and, sadly, predictable. Lots of priestly posturing and dastardly doings. A fun young adult story with promise - but, sadly, not for me.
My thanks to the rights holder of Tuners, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. I'm sure this would appeal to younger, teenage readers but not so much for .

The book has an 80's feel, even one of the main characters sounds exactly like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, which I found annoying and old fashioned. The basic concept storyline of the Goodies fighting the Baddies in a multi-universe with portals people jump through is not a bad one, it's pretty good, but the story didn't really come together well for me. Certain things stuck out for the wrong reason's. Like the fact that the author only ever mentions one store repeatedly in every mall they 'jump' to, Forever 21, overly mentioning the many codes for different worlds without explanation, for ex, "we can't go to world 5647, nor 6748 or 1234 so let's not go at all", and the fact that the author is tone deaf to emotion. For ex, when the main character witnessed his fathers murder, his friend immediately cracks a joke telling him to get back to work, and just like that the death and his distress is dismissed. In conclusion the book is just 50/50, not good, not bad.
I was given a copy of this book for free of my own choosing and have voluntarily left this review.
