Everyone said to read

I had several friends say I needed to read this book. One year later, and I can’t believe I didn’t read it sooner. They were right! It’s excellent. I bought two more of her books before I finished this one.

Sarah is a great addition

Revisado: 03-14-24

I love that she brought Sarah back. It does make for an interesting dynamic for Will. Look forward to more

Yay for supporting women

Revisado: 09-06-23

While there are some tricky moments in this book, it seems to be about how to be human beings and how to treat one another. We need more like Jasmine. But all of these women have brains and gumption. And know how to support when needed.

Still great after all these years

Revisado: 07-07-23

Haven’t read in probably 20 years. Great to visit again. Didn’t remember how mean they were to Hermione in the beginning. Fun to read how it all began.

So much potential

Revisado: 06-30-23

The premise is fantastic. If those who signed the constitution could see how it was interpreted, and misused, 250 years later, would they change it. It was great that the book does address the butterfly effect. Still, what could happen to gun control, race, poverty, etc. instead, it seems this book was written for ill informed privileged. The biggest problem being there was no human side to….anything. There are 5 main scientists. We’re never told who they are past their name and basic education background. No idea how they came together. Why were they picked for this time travel project. In the end, we do see that their dedicated to the doctor and seemingly will follow him anywhere. The social issues are not researched to include the human side. There are also passive aggressive comments concerning things like global warming and coffee shops that come out of nowhere. The sad part is even the 5 from history are not researched well. It becomes disturbing (or almost comical) when the outrage over no longer having corporal punishment was a problem with the school system.
It ends in the most radical way possible in my opinion. That the constitution doesn’t change, Fifteen years into our future, the socialist party wins and the solution is to buy into a new country where there’s little government.
I did appreciate that there were a few interesting points and that thought did go into the “what if’s.” In the end, I found it to be comical in its simplicity and the desire to bring back everything that breaks humanity.

Welliver is amazing

Revisado: 03-18-23

Welliver is amazing. Takes a great actor to add to the life already written. Lakin adds just the right touch to make Renee perfect for Bosch.

Shots fired

Revisado: 01-31-23

Spoiler alert
Hard to believe Lucas and Virgil are still getting shot. One of the best parts about the book is the discussion about Virgil writing books.

A tad slow

Revisado: 11-30-22

Great ending. Interesting story. Just took a bit long to get there. Nice cliffhanger, making me ready for the next one.

Favorite

This is my favorite so far. Thought the story, return of characters, and ending worked beautifully.

Skip this episode

I’ve listened to several episodes. While occasionally the podcast gets silly, they cannot get past giggling over names, etc.
