Why do yo...ha ha - not at all, Anne - I understand! Why do you think this one languished on my shelf for a full year after my husband gave it to me for Christmas? In fact, I included it on My Big Book Summer list this year for extra motivation, but I didn't get to it - finally squeezed it in during the holidays, with all of my book groups & my reviewing job on break! I do think you would like this one.Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-88285004138306868352017-01-12T14:20:00.394-05:002017-01-12T14:20:00.394-05:00ha ha - it is a bit confusing at the start because...ha ha - it is a bit confusing at the start because they just jump into the story without any background about the time travel team, etc. That part of the story builds more gradually. You just have to sort of go along for the ride I think!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-89200274144764734982017-01-12T14:18:50.352-05:002017-01-12T14:18:50.352-05:00Yes, there is plenty to enjoy here aside from the ...Yes, there is plenty to enjoy here aside from the time travel aspect!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-21771098681196333462017-01-12T14:03:00.826-05:002017-01-12T14:03:00.826-05:00I have this book in my library and I've seen i...I have this book in my library and I've seen it on several "best of..." lists but I've not read it. Lately I've been having troubles making myself read LONG books. Pathetic, I know, so this one scares me just based on length.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-21945307374059603422017-01-12T09:09:06.668-05:002017-01-12T09:09:06.668-05:00I read this awhile ago and figured I would love it...I read this awhile ago and figured I would love it as it has all the right elements--history, time travel, humor, British bits--and I mostly did, but I found it incredibly confusing at the start. I remember feeling 50 pages in, that I had no idea what was going on, and it took about 100 pages for me to feel that I had a handle on the story. I did enjoy it, but I found it a lot of work. I did think it was a very creative premise.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-87316630918758969542017-01-12T05:21:43.432-05:002017-01-12T05:21:43.432-05:00I'm not so much into time travel as I am into ...I'm not so much into time travel as I am into the reaction that it draws from characters. Seems like I might enjoy this book, though.Vedika @ Poems and Poetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897669780777070634noreply@blogger.com
