Summary: Bad movie script disguised as a book
Review: The subject of time travel has always been of interest to me so when I heard of this book I thought it would become one of my favorites. It didn't.
It's easy to be impressed by the first chapters of the book with all the scientific terms thrown around and the promise of adventure but then that's all the book really is.
The characters are so underdeveloped, it was difficult to care about them. The light romance between two of them felt forced, like, somebody had to get some so it might as well be those two.
My three stars are for giving props to the attention to detail given to the science and history supposedly behind the concept of the book.
It was entertaining, something you can read between classics to give your mind a rest. Your brain won't have to work too hard to read this one through.
