Pros & Cons
Pros
A real page turner with lots of twists and turns. Without writing more, suffice it to say that there are enough concepts in this book to satisfy the hardest of science fiction readers.
Every page is worth reading as the story is intertwined within itself. A novel and intriguing story line with some good main characters. They say time heals but poignantly there are some things even time travel can’t change.
Sam anderson, a scientist, finds himself confessing to the * of his lover. His daughter adeline is determined to find the evidence that proves his innocence. We follow adeline's journey and sam's journey as he is sent back to triassic times.
A mind muddle of paradoxes and possibilities. Clever approach to time travel and causality. You just need to suspend disbelief at some points.
Cons
Sounded interesting but was slow confusing and drudgery. One idea leads to another and before you know it the result is an entangled mess of ideas instead of a cohesive story.
