It sounds a bit cliché to me. It's true that the wrong usage of French is kind of an off and the overused of sex scenes. Thanks for the nice review though!

Great review of a good read. I love reading about time travel and the analogy that highly advanced knowledge is indistinguishable from magic. Although there are many graphic sex scenes and I will just gloss over them, but how the time traveler copes with life is very interesting in itself. Will definitely buy and read 30th Century: Escape by Keri Wood!

I don't have much knowledge of French, so poor French is not likely to be something I'd ever notice. What concerns me is whether a lack of understanding of the language would detract from my understanding of the novel. Would I be missing anything important?

This is a very thorough review. I liked how you mentioned the parts of the book that you liked and the parts of the book that you didn't like. Great job on the review!

Thankful for this review because the story doesn't seem as exciting to me as I thought it would be. As it is, I was never much interested in SCI-FI genre.

I am not a fan of science fiction narratives, so this book won't work for me.

Great review! This sounds like an interesting read. The part where the book loses focus would probably be really annoying to me, but I like the time travel component so much that I'll check it out anyways.

It's a great sci-fi book that keeps the reader in suspense and makes us want to know the later occurrences as the book progresses. Great job on the review

Futuristic Si-Fi. I like the plot of an imagined future. Especially one written by an author who has an extensive academic background of the subject matter. I'm curious to read "30th Century: Escape". The occasional French writings won't work for me though.

Thank you for this detailed review. Jennifer seems like an interesting character in the story. The book has a unique plot where Jennifer came from another century then jumps back to earlier century. This is an interesting to read.

Time travel books sound interesting, however, from your review, this one would not be my cup of tea. Thank you for the well-written review.
