I like good science fiction books, I like reading about time travel. The plot of the book seems to be really captivating with enough suspense to grab the reader's attention. G's got an ally who later turns out not to be such a good friend who has his hidden motives which I hope the book will reveal.

I'll add it to my list of "maybes" because again sci-fi is a hit or miss subject with me. I must say that your review has piqued my interest so I'll have to read other reviews to make a final decision. Great review.

It is a really great review that gives you a real glimpse into the world of the main characters G and Gerry. It sounds fantastic with the aspects of time travel and some kind of stones. I think this book is on my to read list.

zaynab_m, your review certainly piqued my interest too. Great review with full details on what to expect. I'm glad the book is available for free download today. I've gotten my copy already and I'm sure to share info about to others who might be interested (and referencing your review to give them a good foretaste)

I'm a huge science-fiction fan and the premise of this book definitely sounds interesting. It's a shame about the long rambling sentences. I also have a hard time reading those and making sense of them. But I'm glad you enjoyed the book overall. Great review!

Great review Zaynab! I read the book's first chapter today and between your review and the opener, I am super intrigued. I also love one-word titles and I am already wondering what the word "inertia" has to do with the story. Adding it to my list!

I read a few pages of what you can see on Amazon and was amazed at the reviewer's comment about spelling and grammar. Soon after I started reading I encountered an "its" that should have been "it's" and several other minor grammatical problems. What I read did seem interesting, however, and I may go on to read more of the book. I recommend a good editor.

You did a great job of relaying how captivating this book can be. I wish I could read every good book, there just aren't enough hours in the week. But I will put this one on my wish list.

Thanks for the thorough review. The vast vocabulary, mild slang, good adjectives, idioms and metaphors promise an exciting read. Hope to read the book.

Wow, great review! You definitely seem to have liked the book, and it has made me curious. Just from the sample, I think that I would enjoy it as well. I already enjoy the suspenseful and comical situations, and I'm just in the first couple of pages!

This book sounds very interesting to read and I do like the time traveling aspects to it. I could tell by your lengthy review that you loved the book. I do agree that authors seem to write out contractions instead of using them. I think that this is from many years of education and the insistence of professors that everything be spelled out. The suspense that you provide in your review is great and makes me want more.
