Escapement, in the 7 Hour Series, was the first book of
its’ type I have read, and I ended up really liking the book by Rene
Gutteridge. Matthew “Mattie” Bigham is either allowed to relive any 7 hours of
his life or have his life extended 7 hours. During this choice, Matthew decides
to extend his life 7 hours in order to plan the murder of his high school bully.
Unfortunately, he uses those extra hours to do something negative with his life,
but his plans do not turn out quite as he expected.
This was a very short book, which could easily be
finished within a day or two. I liked the main idea for the story, but the main
character was not someone I really found myself relating to. He seemed to be
very bitter regarding the experiences he faced in School. With that in mind, I’m
hopeful the other books in the series will have characters I can relate to
since I liked the concept.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book
free from Tyndale Books. I was not required to write a positive review. The
