some of those books that need to be adapted into a movie just to see how they tackle the time travel thing. Plus the plot sounds intriguing and captivating.

Not only Sci-Fi/Fantasy is not among my favorite genres, but also I have no interest whatsoever in anything related to time travel. Mostly I just don't think myself capable to give a fair assessment to book when it is the third part of the series and I am totally unfamiliar with it. Sorry, I will skip it, but congrats with BOTD anyway!

Time travel is a fascinating subject and I quite enjoy it. But solid characters carry a story, it's sad that the characters in the novel are lacking in that regard. I hope the author does better in subsequent installments.

I like that the old idea of ​​time travel is told in a somewhat new way, both gripping and humorous.

Your Expertly written review has definitely convinced me to get this book. Although the character development issue you point out seems to be of great concern to you, I am willing to overlook this flaw and areead it. I can't wait to acquaint myself to the time travel concept.

This is the third installment in a series called Physics, Lust, and Greed. A science fiction book that includes time travel. It has interesting aspects like a "mole" in the group, bad guys who want to use technology to get rich, and more. It seems like a good option for science fiction lovers.

That was one of my questions too. Would I be lost if I didn't read the other books first? Other than that knowing this author has a fresh take on time travel has definitely peaked my interest!

I have always been fascinated by time travel. Sean sounds like an interesting character, even though you mentioned there are so many characters in the book. I hope the author will address those issues in subsequent books.

Thanks for the great review! I am not a sci-fi fan, nor am I fond of books about time travel. However, this book sounds interesting. I am sure I would like Sean's character. It is a shame about it the lack of character building and the book having too many characters which took away from the story. For those reasons I am going to pass on this one!

"While I liked Sean as the main character in the story and cared about what happened to him, this book had too many other characters. Some were made to seem important, but their storylines went nowhere. The character development was also lacking for most characters because there were so many of them. Even Marshall and Marta, who were two of the other main characters, weren’t fully developed."

I don't generally read science-fiction and this issue with the characters makes me feel I wouldn't like this too much.
But still, I enjoyed reading your review. Thank you.

I like to read time travel related book. But too many character can make it confusing to read. That discourage me to read the book.

Sean Brody formed a good epi center of all interests. Well done review Team, for such a good analysis, the way the book is positioned is so mind blowing, like someone come back live again what an interesting rare idea.
Thank you so much Team

I'd really love to see how Sean went back in time to correct his mistakes and save the stranger. I usually don't read science fiction books but this seems interesting. Great review.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen
