All Thomas Weaver wanted was death. What he got was time travel.

Thomas Weaver, haunted by a teenage tragedy, lived a wasted life. He closed his eyes for what he believed was the last time in 2016, but opened them again in his teenage bedroom and body in 1976. Now a middle-aged man in his teenage body, he sets out to fix everything he did wrong in his first life. A budding serial killer in home room, a possible new romance, and high school algebra complicate his plans.

What would you do, if you could do it all again?

Includes a special bonus note read by the author.

Fair warning, once you pick up the novel about Mr. Weaver, you are done for. This book is amazing and you will want to read this and the entire series which is up to almost 20 books (multiple times, because re-reads of this are worth it!). I didn't really know what I was walking into when I stepped into this book, and I was ensnared (probably a bear trap) ever since. Time travel, self reflection, pain, happiness, so much going on. I am an avid reader, and still check constantly when Mr. Inmon's next novel is coming out. He is a hidden gem, and I hope you all are able to be as lucky as me to find him and his stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new hit story in the making.

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to have the mind and memories of an experienced adult, but carried in the healthy youthful body of a teenager? If so, then this book just might be for you.

I first heard of “The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver” through an unsolicited referral from another author I follow. The book initially came out in a series of episodes. My imagination was quickly captured by the first two episodes, which detailed the story of Thomas Weaver, his early life and hardships with guilt over the death of his older brother, his ultimate suicide later in life, and his amazing resurrection as a teenager, with the precious chance to “do it over again, but right this time.” The full novel goes on to plumb the depths of reincarnation, redemption, and resilience of the human spirit as Thomas goes about trying to set to rights his own mistakes as well as helping some of his friends and classmates avoid what his memory tells him will be bad future outcomes for them. Along the way, Thomas uncovers a dark story about a disturbed classmate who will in his future go on to become a murderer. Thomas feels compelled to change that outcome if he can. This suspense ends with an unexpected twist that will leave readers begging for more. If you enjoy a good story rich with good memories of youthful times before the Internet, Facebook, and iPhones, the strength of the human spirit striving to do what is right, the power of love, and all the twisty-turning conundrums of altering future time-lines, then you will find “The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver” to be a most compelling read.

I was given a free advance copy of this book prior to release in exchange for my honest review.

I read this novel years ago and now decided to reread all the beginning books in the series before catching up with the more recently released novels that I haven't read yet. I enjoyed the time travel elements - Mr. Inmon's take on it is intriguing and thought-provoking to me. I also really enjoyed the plot and character developments.
There were some passages which were hard for me, being more violent and graphic than my preference; yet, the overall book was so good that I got past them.
I look forward to continuing to reread the Middle Falls Time Travel series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016

I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest review. However, I had already purchased each of the installments prior to it being published as a novel. Luckily I found the installments when there was only one to wait on because they were absorbing and addictive. I love the complete novel even more than the installments. The flow was great and the characters were well developed, real and intriguing. As a reader I found myself rooting for them and thinking about them long after the book ended. The plot was creative and made it hard to put the book down. There were some mistakes/typo's throughout, but for the most part it read clean. The situations that were posed were real and absorbing. I was curious about the "beings" from the "Temporal Relocation Assignment Department" as there isn't a lot of development on these characters. Of course it didn't seem necessary for the story, but it felt like it was left a little open. I suppose this is realistic as not much is truly known about the afterlife. It will lead to an interesting sequel regarding "Emily" if the author sees fit to take that path. I would certainly read it if that is the case.
If you like a hopeful, redemption story type of plot that is all tied up in a neat package, this is the book for you. There is a complete range of emotions that the author is able to take you through without leaving you feeling like you have just gotten off of a roller coaster. It had love and loss, family and drama with a healthy dose of suspense. The one character that has me wanting to know more about is Michael Hollister. The author alludes to a possible sequel for this character and I sure hope it comes out -- and soon!

This is a very intriguing book which will leave you to think after you have put the book (or tablet) down. The writer creates a fabulous speculation on alternate realities. I think he has something here. At first I didn’t care what happened to Michael Hollister but now I do care and want to know more. If you like time travel or alternate reality stories, you have to get this one.

It seems that one must read the entire set of stories to get satisfaction. In this one book Thomas Weaver gets to live his life over, but his guardian angel gets demoted. The most powerful force in the universe, according to his guardian angel, might be love, but he loses his. All in all, the story does not end on a satisfactory note. It does end, and things do seem to wrapped up, but there's no feeling that a job well done has been accomplished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing read about a second chance.
Reviewed in Australia on August 23, 2018

Imagine overdosing and thinking you’re putting yourself and everyone else out of your misery in 2016 only to wake up in your teenaged body in 1976 just a few months before a life changing event – the pinnacle moment your life went to hell. There you are, a middle-aged mind trapped in a young body, with all those thoughts and life experiences, wondering what the heck just happened.

For years Thomas Weaver has lived with the knowledge his actions killed his older brother. Has he really been given a second chance? It’s strange hearing ‘new’ songs he knows have been around for decades. Going to school takes on a new meaning too. He’s back with old friends he lost touch with ‘years ago.’ The girls he thought were beautiful and way out of his league no longer have any power over him, and in his homeroom, he’s just spotted a future serial killer who may or may not have already claimed his first victim. All Thomas knows is he must right the wrongs of his past to help create a better future, but in doing so, doesn’t make things so much worse.

I loved the premise of this book. How many of us would love to go back in time, knowing what we know now, and change a few of our more questionable youthful decisions? However, when Thomas gets that chance, it raises more questions than answers. Sticking to his moral codes and righting his wrongs isn’t as easy as he first thought.

I have got quite into time travel books, some can be confusing, but this was not. I understand there are quite a lot more books in this series, and can be a bit predictable. I will read the next one though.

5.0 out of 5 stars A page turner that grabbed me early and didn't let go
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2022

I’ve just finished reading this incredible book. It was amazing. A page turner. Grabbed me early and didn’t let go.

Liked:

The characters. Despite his issues, Tommy is witty, kind, and courageous, and more likeable because of his flaws. Zak is the brother everyone wishes they had, even if we know he’d eclipse everything we did. And Anne is the archetype single mum who has nailed parenting.

The plot. This is strong and the major strength of the book. Particularly the conflict with Michael Hollister, which is genuinely terrifying.

The concept. It is well delivered. Who hasn’t dreamt about starting over and correcting their mistakes?

Ultimately, I wanted more; I wanted these characters challenged again; and I wanted the story to continue.

I’m delighted there are more instalments in the series, and I can’t wait to get started. This book is a tremendous achievement and without doubt the best independently published book I’ve ever read. Indeed, it stands toe-to-toe with any book I’ve read this year, both independent and traditionally published.

Pick up a copy—you won’t regret it.
