This book was recommended by an online list of works that involve time travel. Since I\u2019m always into books that deal with the flow of time, I decided to check it out. Unfortunately it really wasn\u2019t my cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blurb and short descriptions I heard sounded promising, but as I started the story it read a little like an old pulp novel, with very bad bad guys and handsome and pure good guys. There is a ton of exposition – things are explained from character to character where it might have been more entertaining to show it rather than tell it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I knew I was in trouble when several chapters are dedicated to a kiss – should I kiss her? Should I have kissed him? When will I kiss her again? Is it proper to kiss at this point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OK, so I guess I got sort of tricked into reading a bad romance novel. All the time travel stuff is simply a set up to this sappy story that gets many more pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story goes on, the time travel background is illuminated a little more but now I see it as just a cool down before we can get back to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cHe caught her delicious bottom in his hands and brought her gasping against his thighs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I guess I need to be more careful when choosing books based on random internet recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I am reading Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
