Rating: Summary: Just the beginning Review: I first read this book about 10 years ago. I was in 8th grade. I still love this book. The Green Futures of Tycho was the first William Sleater book I ever read. I have read every one I can get my hands on. This book is a classic for me.
Rating: Summary: Great book for all ages Review: I first read this book when I was in forth grade. It made a great impression on me. During a move a year later the book was lost. I recently found it on auction and read it again. I am amazed at how wonderfully complex the story is for both young and old readers. Certainly a story for all. Happy reading
Rating: Summary: A Book for a Lifetime Review: I first read this when I was probably about the age of Tycho in the book. I loved it then as a strange, time-hopping tale of terror. But now, fifteen or so years later, I still pick it up and read it from time to time. It's a very fast read, but I don't mind. Every time I read it, I see more and more that I didn't see the first time.... One of the classics of YA Science Fiction.

Rating: Summary: Epic! Review: Sleator is unquestionalby a master at this juncture. And "Green Futures" only serves to reiterate this point. One of his more dry storys "Green Futures" utterly destroys any sense of what you think is possible and impossible and aslo what is bad and what is good.One of the most chilling aspects about alot of Sleator's books is his sometimes horrific display of the Nuclear Family. This book and other like "Rewind" open a few doors into some frightening house holds. The bottom line is that Sleator is and will continue to be simply Awsome. I highly reccomend this, and many other or his older works like, House of Stairs, Intersteller Pig, Singularity, Strange Attractors, The Duplicate, and Others See Us. I've been gorging myself on Sleator novels since early childhood, and will continue to do so. The only complaint that I have about this author is that he is not more recognized for people to see his greatness. Truly this man and his works are a credit to our civilization.

Rating: Summary: A Book I'll Never Forget Review: This book details how a young boy's life changes as he tinkers with his past via a time travelling device. It has all the elements of a great SF "novel" and (as you get older!) helps you to realize that the things you do in life have farther reaching effects than you could ever imagine. But mostly, it's just a wonderfully fun book, even after 16 years!
Rating: Summary: (Almost As) Good As _Interstellar Pig,_ Slightly More Durabl Review: This book is almost as good, or maybe as good as, _Interstellar Pig_, but I think it has a bit more durability in the sense that older readers may enjoy it more than some of Sleators other works. It has the trademark quirkiness of Sleator, and if you liked any of Sleator's books, you should like this one. The novel is about a boy who tinkers with his fate and has to deal with the products of his tinkering.
