Summary: Well-written but impractical
Review: "Time Travel for Beginners" is a useful guide for someone making their first trip through time, but be warned: Even if you follow the author's instructions carefully, you may not end up in the time period and/or place you intended. I was trying to visit rural Manitoba in the 1930s, but because I skipped Chapter 4, I ended up in ancient Sumeria.Boy, was I embarrassed!

Summary: I was unfortunately disappointed.
Review: As someone who "gobbles" up anything related to timetravel/speculation/inconsistencies and so on, I was drawn to this book from the synopsis and the marketing premise that I considered (after reading) to be misleading. While the book does offer investigations into possible evidence of timetravel; it is only thrown in periodically throughout an otherwise boring read. In fact, I've read hundreds of books in the speculative nature and sadly, this is the ONLY ONE I haven't enjoyed.

Summary: Good reading, but not what I expected
Review: I really enjoyed the book. But because of it's technical aspect about the scientific viewpoint of time travel, I did get bogged down. But it didn't really give me any practical techniques or lessons/examples to follow to try it on my own. I had to be a part of a group, and that doesn't appeal to me.

Summary: Time Travel Fascination
Review: This Irish author is a deep thinker. He investigates not only UFOs, those saucer shaped ships from outer space, but also the ultraviolet catastrophe, speaks about photons and electrons; what are Positrons in Space and Time? Hey, you can change your location in space without destroying the universe! It's just a forwards/backwards convergence of your future and your past, which happens in the presence. Hermann Hesse said similar things, but don't ask me right now in which of his books. The difference between Hermann Hesse and Mr. Brennan: the former took it from a buddhistic viewpoint, the latter from science. More Power to Mr.Brennan! Gerborg
