Rating: Summary: Acurate Look at Time Travel Review: Although this is not Anthony's main subject in writing, this book is one of his best works. Dead Morn is one of the few books which actually takes the time to look at time travel in an actuate and realistic way, thus fooling the reader to think he is actually there. Anthony carefully explains the reasons for time travel, its supposed repercussions, and points out many of the holes in it. The stage is thus set for a narrative that is always fascinating and the story never lets up its on the edge struggle of a man who will do anything for love
Rating: Summary: interesting combo Review: between history and scifi. It taught me a lot about the time period, and had an intruiging plot. Confusing ending. Overall, it's hard to classify this book exactly.
Rating: Summary: disturbing....good, but disturbing... Review: I read halfway though. Then I got so freaked out that I put the book down and left it there for 3 days. Curiosity drew me back to the story, however, and I devoured the rest of the text. Again, creepy, but good if you understand what went on.
Rating: Summary: interesting combo Review: Normally I have always like his work, but this is the exception. I was intrigued by his discussion of time travel and the perils inherent in it. However, the story fell flat. Nothing is worse than a good short story idea that is forced into a paperback. I almost put it down but continued on in hope that the ending would at least tie it all together and make it a worthwhile read, but alas, it was not to be. I finished it while on the beach and almost threw it into the ocean I was so disapointed.

Rating: Summary: A Great Writer, But a Mediocre Book Review: Piers Anthony is one of my favorite writers, but this has got to be his worst book. Usually he is intelectual in an entertaining way, but in this book he forces the reader to work for every revelation. While he has many interesting insights into the problems inherent in time travel, he only deals with them by tangling them into a snarl of yarn that only a kitten could appreciate. Although I give him an A for effort, this book is a C read, with a D- ending, at best.

Rating: Summary: Deep & complex Review: This book is not for the average reader. It's geared more towards the reader that grasp the concept of time travel. Also the respect of a man's devotion to his life's love. I also recommend that you listen to Living Colour's "Time's up!" as you read, it complemments the story.
