Well, this book is getting so many mixed reviews and now ai can see why. My head is still trying to comprehend what I just listened to. I really liked it for about 70% and then as the ending was being revealed I found myself shaking my head a lot. I didn’t hate the ending but it was a bit much, even for me.

The premise of this book was interesting. A book inside a screenplay, being made into a movie. It was a little confusing at times on audio if you aren’t paying 100% attention, although they did a really good job at making the distinction between reality and fiction. The narration was really well done and ai loved the accents.

Adele was such a frustrating character! I just wanted to shake her!

The story was creepy and clever, but I felt the ending let it down a bit, the reasoning for what was happen just a bit weak.

Thanks to Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for my advanced listening copy of Run Time to read. It is out now.
