Till I read the review I did not have a clear idea about the content. Seems like a good book and I am thinking of giving a try for it. Thanks for the review and congratulations on being BOTD

Definitely sounds like more than your run-of-the-mill time travel book... Good concept + good writing make me want to read this one. Thank you for this (helpful!) review

This review completely solidifies my need to read this book. I am beyond curious to find out what changes Anaya makes in her life. I am captivated by the message that is being conveyed and can't help but wonder what moment I would choose if given the opportunity. I will be adding this to my collection shortly.

I like your book review and agree with the messages that you got from the book. I think that many people have regrets in their life about things that they could have done differently including myself. I think that if I had the chance to relive moments in my teenage years with the perspective I have now, I would.

I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions just reading this short section. A very sudden, chilling twist. Excellent read.

This reminds me of my old days which if clock can be reversed, may be there are a lot that need to be corrected. Its very interesting. At any point in life, it's good to make best use of it bcos time past can never be rewind. That's a wonderful review.

Latest Review: Dibs and Dabs of my Life by Gertrude Coulter

Post by NuelUkah »

The author has quite a talent for vivid descriptions, not only of the scenery, but also the protagonist's inner thoughts and feelings. This book brings to thought questions such as; What would you do if you knew you were going to die soon, but you had the option of going back and changing the one decision you regret most? Would your life have been better or worse than it is now, and what would you miss the most about your current life, given that any change you make to your past choices might have unintended consequences?

This is a good read for anyone who has ever wished to go back and change the things in their past that they regret.

The ending definitely left me wanting to know more. The only fault is I found the build up too tedious and also I thought the reveal of time travel etc was a little rushed. I wanted to know more about Greg and thought that his character was a little bit vague.

It would be interesting to travel back in time with my current mental faculties in check. I don't think I would want to change anything but that would certainly be an eye opening experience. I like the premise of the book.

I already love this book. Time travel, the idea of going back in time to relive life is a very intriguing concept. Indeed one has to truly live one's life and do one's best.
