I already thought this sounded amazing and now I'm blown away. The story sounds so interesting. The Amazon blurb said Back to the Future crossed with Doctor Who. I'm thinking more like Back to the Future and Peggy Sue Got Married. Looking forward to checking this one out. Thanks for your insightful review!

Okay, this book looks good enough. I like the genre - sci-fi - and you made a good description of the main storyline. I particularly like that you have included the age (s) of the MC, since I like to know who I am reading about. I am keen to read this book.
Thanks for the good review.

The storyline for Inertia is interesting, involving a time transportation to the past where wrongs may be righted when the person involved is given the chance to relive his life again. Being cognizant of past mistakes, will he be able to reshape his future, differently from the future from which he came from? This is intriguing, given that lifetimes, will be altered and realigned to be free of faults already experienced and must be avoided. Thanks for your informative review.

Thank you zaynab_m for an informative review. It is very true that some books which would have made me feel over-satisfied after reading it, was only ruined by the writing style of the author and the errors that I have found. I have to admit, your review makes me hope that I will be spending the next few days in a state of "I-can't-sleep-yet-even-though-I-am-so-sleepy-but-I-have-to-finish-this"! <<<< yeah that! I was trying to day just that :D

The review gives a clear picture of the story. But about the words used, I would like to say that at some points the description just drags me away from the main part. Except that I agree that the book can keep the reader go on reading until the end curiously.

this book is indeed an interesting one, but don't you think going back to the future to make some amend should look a little bit negative on the side? because, going back to the future to correct some mistakes can become devastating in the present.

Great. This book's review is like to me, a total must read. I’m surprised how the editor did a complete and concise review, revealing that, this book can be multi categorized because of the suspense into thrillers, fantasy and sci-fi. This book seems to have all that and much more ......... waiting to read it. Congrats to the author and the editor for this review! Thanks.

Gerry Springer knew he was about to die; he knew when, and where. However, he wanted to save his son, wanted to make sure his G made the right choice.
I am not sure that I want to know how my final moments will look like. I am not sure. Thanks for this review.

Thank you for a good review. Your description provided me with an inside view of a book and its characters I might not have encountered otherwise. Clearly, you liked it and A. R. Rivera's work. I've added it to my list.

I love Inertia! My comments, below, were after the first few chapters, but I read the rest of the novel yesterday and am super keen for Book 2!
I think a small slice of high action would do well as a prologue, to ensure readers make it to these sections.
Congratulations to A.R.Rivera. Awesome concepts and I anticipate much more to come
R-g-R wrote: 04 Feb 2018, 20:25 An well-written intriguing start to the book, which had me oscillating between, “So many fascinating things I want to know more about,” and, “It’s great but I don’t have much time right now and a little more action would be helpful”.
Overall I do like the ominous, creeping sense of impending ‘something’, with the sudden appearance of a portal-traveller, the working towards solving clues and setting things in order, along with the expected being, ultimately, unexpected.
Glad to hear the final edit has removed the typos, etc.
Kudos to the author for an excellent introduction. I now need to continue reading in order to comment more!
