I like time travel books, but for some reason this one didn\u2019t click for me. As a book about a man and his relationship with his daughter it seemed to work, but all the technology and rules that went with time travel in this story ended up being less interesting than I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book\u2019s writing suffered from telling you too much directly instead of letting you discover it by showing it to you. All of this information download made it harder to immerse into the world(s) the writer had created. Especially there were moments when things were described and the reader instantly knows that it just happened to justify a plot point later on. Sure enough, a few chapters later there it is. The dialogue between characters also felt clunky to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite these points I liked the overall story – it just felt like it was hurried\/forced. One of the characters talks about \u201cputting love\u201d into their cooking – I wish the writer had taken a little more time to put more love into their story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I am reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
