I didn't really enjoy the sample reading of this book, but your review makes me want to revisit it. I usually do enjoy stories involving time travel and your description of Wasting Time piqued my interest on this one. Thanks for the great review!

Expect nothing less than an intriguing read when physics, lust, and greed collide. It helps that the book is also well written. Thanks for the insightful review and recommendation.

Time travel is a fascinating concept and this book, although containing some cheesy aspects, seems to deliver a great story involving time travel and even love.

Wasting Time ~ is a Sci-Fi / Fantasy Book which tells of Time - traveling. Very engaging. Sci-fi drama and romance. Intriguing read. Physics, lust, burocracy, and romance, greed collide.


Martra has a lot to deal with protecting the past from a greedy future, and finding to understand her confusing relationship with Marshall. Amazing read.


Thanks to the Author

Sounds like an intriguing story that would capture one's imagination as the science behind time travel is explored. I will however pass.on this one due to the explicit sex scenes and profanity. Thanks for a gripping review, all the same.

I am looking forward to this book to find out how Marsha will be able to be return to the present. Time travel has always been a favorite plot of mine and this one seemed to have an intriguing story and exciting and suspenseful flow.

Absolutely love your review. Would love the opportunity to read this book, it really sounds like a page turner and I adore Sci-fi novels. Also time travelling fascinates me and by the sounds of your review there is also a lot of vivid and descriptive language in the book so that it will make me feel as though I am living in the book ,through the authors words.

Before forming any kind of objective opinion about this book, I had to track and read reviews written about oters books from series. It won't do anyone any good to get all exited about an end only to find out beginning is not very good. Luckily it is not the case for "A Tale of Physics, Lust and Greed" series. Everything sounds quite promising and interesting, so title BOTD seems well deserved. Congrats!

Judging from those names given to the universes, I say the author is a true-blue movie fan. I shun science fiction because of the complicated concepts. But this one seems simple enough for my simple tastes. I'm not too sure about the lusty parts, though.

The title is clever; I hope it's not prophetic, though.

Lovely review! And captivating too. Thank you
I'll like to read this one as it seems quite intriguing and has a bit for everyone. I also like that it's not so technical and a book on time travel is a sure read for me
Begin always with the end in mind. :techie-studyingbrown:

I usually love time travel stories in futuristic scenarios. However, I don't think this one is for me because of the number of explicit sexual scenes. It still sounds like a great novel to those readers who enjoy sci-fi books with romance that bring physics. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

I always fear that books about time traveling can be heavy with complex technical words. I’m glad that this book isn’t one of them. Martha and Marshall’s adventures across different parallel universes sound really exciting.

This book sounds awesome! I'm a fan of science, drama and romance, so I feel like this is definitely the book for me. I like stories that manage to make you understand the scientific aspect without leaving you feeling all confused. Glad to know the author managed to do that in this book. I will definitely be reading it, thank you for the great review!
