About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Michael Young is a brilliant young history student whose life is changed when he meets Leo Zuckerman, an ageing physicist with a theory that can change worlds.

Together they realise that they have the power to alter history and eradicate a great evil. But tinkering with timelines is more dangerous than they can imagine and nothing - past, present or future - will ever be the same again.

Making History is funny, moving, romantic and told with Stephen Fry's characteristic skill and brilliance.

Praise for Making History:

'His best novel yet... an extravagant, deeply questioning work of science fiction' GQ

'Making History has the imaginative pull that keeps the pages turning while the tea gets cold and the cat gets the goldfish' The Independent

'Stephen Fry at his twinkling best' Sunday Times

I lked this story a lot. Especially its surprising turn of events and its theme of social equality. Could have done with a bit less words in the first half but overall a recommended read.
