    This book is very good. It basically has all the right things in it. Like action, tragedy, love and romance, and comedy. It makes you feel like you’re in the same room as the characters.

    I was given this book from a Good reads giveaway from the author for honest review. Let me start off by saying my favorite part of this book was the time travel and all the science behind all this. Tom was a 32 year old man who to me didn't belong in his world he had a father who hated him and a mother who dropped everything to do make things easy for her husband to make his life easy. And for Tom it was hard to please his father in his time. Until he is Penelope under study in Tom father study of time travel. I did go back fourth with Tom and how he mind set of thinking and how he was feeling and how he did things. The women in his life seem kinda blah to me. If you like time travel and a lot science and number and hoe some people would do anything to relive that one moment over and over then this is the book. Thank you again Elan Mastai for letting me read this book and enjoying it.

    I love time travel stories. This one was a fun ride. I enjoyed the breezy way the story was written. While drenched in technical details, it was never unapproachable. What a fantastic read.

    There are so many things I want to say about this novel, this twisting, turning, edge of my bed thrill ride. Even battling the worst head cold I have ever had in my life, I gobbled up every word in, like, 7 hours. I am going to track down a hardcover, physical copy of this memoir to re read again and again. I believe this is the most profound piece of literature I have ever consumed. I'm unsure how to turn off my brain and sleep now. I tip my metaphorical hat to the author. Profound.
  • Wonderful read. Thought provoking clever and highly entertaining

    This book is sci fi at its best. Brilliant plot, mind blowing possibilities and deeply philosophical. A great read.

    Really good book! The scientific jargon doesn't get in the way of an intriguing story. Definitely recommend it for any time travel enthusiasts out there.
  • WOW!

    I really wasn't sure I would be interested in reading about time travel, as I'm not much of a sci-fi fan, but this book was about so much more than time travel: discovering who we are, our purpose in life, love, loss, grief, and, of course, science. I found all the characters to be so beautifully developed, and the story so believable, that I could not put this book down. So well done for a first time author! I have found a new writer to follow. That, I find, is the wonderful outcome after reading this wonderful book.

    I love time travel novels so I have read a few. This is one of the more interesting and well thought out story lines that I can recall. Interesting characters intertwined with overlapping scenarios can get confusing but Elan Mastsi keeps you from losing the story line or your interest in it. During the 2nd half of the story there were passages that made me gasp aloud and bring my hands to my face in disbelief, to the wonder of those nearby. I just smiled and said "I can't put this book down". I read this as an electronic book but I'm going to purchase a hard copy for my bookshelf. It's the greatest compliment that I can give to this well deserved author. Thank you Elan for a great story.
