I woke up with a start and looked around the room. I was alone. The curtains were drawn, allowing just some faint light in the room. I stayed in bed a little while, trying to figure out the weirdest dream I've ever had.
A dream that started with a disastrous meeting with the sales department at work, and ended with the report on the near-extinction of the human race. I promised myself I would never work these long hours again. I normally didn’t have nightmares, but when I did they always seemed very real.
I thought, “Let’s go. One more day of hard work!”
I moved the covers and put my feet on the floor. It felt weird...
The first installment of the adventure
Brian, an ordinary engineer from a technology company, receives an e-mail in the middle of the night... A simple email saying that the Human Race is facing extinction in the very near future!
From this strange e-mail, Brian gets into the midst of an adventure surrounded by strange messages, puzzles and games in which he is challenged to discover a very important mission and re-write his fate.
An intriguing story
'Messages from the Future' is a smart thriller crammed with action, puzzles, suspense and mystery. Readers will be intrigued by the story and the fast-paced atmosphere of this book, being hooked from the first page to last one.

I'm a sucker for books that have riddles, logic puzzles, and any kind of brain challenge, so that part of the book I enjoyed. I was fine with how the story was progressing. The part that made me decide to not purchase books 2 and 3 was the missing words. In the beginning our main character tells us there may be some misspellings, but he was writing things as he remembered it and to overlook the errors. OK, I'll give you a little grace for that. So I'm prepared for an error here and there. But what I found caused me to cringe. Every page or two I would discover a word missing or a word that was started to be used and then changed for something else and not deleted. It's difficult to read a story when you are trying to figure out what the author was intending to say.Bernal, please re-read your own work, invest in an editor, or have your mother read it, something! The book wasn't close to being ready for publication.

Messages from the Future The Book / Part 1 eBook T Bernal Reviews
This book was...in a word...amazing! I wish it didn't have to end. This book is breath-taking and intricate, with an infinite amount of attention paid to every detail. Everything makes sense in the story and I can’t wait to read the second part!
I enjoyed the story line but the grammar and writing killed me. With better editing I might continue the series to see what happens next
This book is a very intriguing concept. I like how the storyline is written and at times cryptic. The way this story plays out is quite adventurous. Brian is a good character that will do what needs to be done with the aid of friends. This book is a quick read but left me wanting book 2 right now. I liked the mystery, suspense and thrills aspect. A good read.
This isn't a bad idea for a story but the writing seems stiff. When the characters speak they don't use contractions and nobody talks like that.
There are some grammatical errors as well that should be cleaned up.
This isn't a complete book. If I had paid for it I would be extremely upset and instead I am very disappointed.

For the life of me, I cannot fathom why (at this time) there are 10/1/1/0/0 stars. The author prefaces the book by dropping the lazy card, and it went something like this
"...due to the urgency of the situation, the content was summarized in just one night; therefore there may be some spelling or grammatical mistakes that would not be forgiven in an ordinary `book'."
Some and maybe...translate to numerous and absolutely. Throughout the book, there are dozens of editing issues. Punctuation isn't terrible, but the wrong words are in sentences. On the one hand, T. Bernal appears to be from Brazil, and many issues could simply be due to ESL. However, the book translation is by Paula Tavolaro and editing by Dana Micheli, so it was credited and fails.
Additionally, I've read Carlos Ruiz Zafon's work - and he has wonderful, clean copy and is a powerful writer. T. Bernal's book has been in digital form for a couple years. By now, it could/should have had a good editorial cleansing.
The story I couldn't find this book listed in YA, which is exactly what the book should be targeting. The writing style, the vanilla dialogue and relationships, and especially the "puzzles" were reminiscent of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series I enjoyed in my early years.
Even adopting this mindset of a child, I still found the writing sloppy and the story too convenient. I only finished reading this story to see if it got any better. The fact it was short drastically helped in my decision. I felt no connection to any of the characters. The situations were comical. You have a boy/girlfriend, adults, on the run and they seem to never have, nor want, alone time.
The scene set-ups are amazingly transparent. The "puzzles" can be figured out in one's head without looking at the inserted graphics.
In sum, if this book gets some quality editing and is targeted to 10-12 year-old readers, I think there will be the opportunity for success. I won't pass this book to my 11 year-old daughter as I think she is too old to appreciate the work.
Here are some examples to back up my review
"Agatha12's (super-duper computer) conclusion, the probable conclusion of any 12 year old kid, is that humans are taking everything and everybody toward one only end Total Destruction. "
I'd hate to live in a world where all 12 year olds are cynical and jaded.
"...how I would survive in prison. I didn't even know boxing."
Boxing in prison? Not, self-defense or how to fight?
"So, be careful not to end up the FBIs Most Wanted list without even knowing it."
"That to send message to us, they needed a lot of energy..."
(All in a car mind you). "Yes, it is in the front pocket of my backpack, on the backseat of the car.
(aka right next to the character asking for the item).
"...problems you will have access to an important information."
KDM day (lower case) is an epic event. It stands for Kill/Death/Murder, or for those Demolition Man fans out there, MDK (Murder/Death/Kill)
I have another 20 or so examples, but as it stands, this review is nearing the length of this "book". Simply adding the three books into one with quality editing and some rewrites and re-marketing to children, would make a huge difference for the success of this book.
Messages from the future is just what it says. A man starts receiving messages from the future. He has to solve logic puzzles in order to change the fate of mankind.
It's kind of simplistic, more for teens and YA audiences. Also, it's a series, so after reading this for free, you have to pay to continue, and I'm just not that into it.
Results ok. Nothing mind-blowing. If you're really into logic puzzles you might enjoy it. I wouldn't pay for it.
First, I have to mention that this is not a book. This is PART of a book. I can only assume that it ends the way it does to entice readers to purchase additional books. This is not how a series is written. As a side note, I will not be purchasing any more books in the series.
The story, while interesting, is not told effectively. The prose is simple. There are many grammar issues, formatting problems, and awkward sentences. The writing is a bit stilted at times, and the dialog, I feel, is not how someone would talk.
The text seems to be written for a young audience, perhaps kids up to the age of twelve. However, there are some curse words near the end that makes the story unsuitable for children. Yet, the story is too simple for adults, so I don't know what age group the author is aiming for.
Read it if you must, but be prepared to dole out additional cash to get a complete story arc.
