Title: Take it away
Review: I cannot believe the reviews this book got! I agree with the assessment above: this is a real stinker. Do not waste your time! The two main characters are so shallow and poorly drawn that you just can't care. The device of time travel and the idea of a genetic illness (called chronodisplacement)in the main time traveler character is clever, but is so clumsily applied that it just makes the reading a hassle, full of artificial cutesy stumbling blocks. I read a lot of literary fiction, and was in the mood for a good summer romance, but this wasn't it. I had to force myself to finish this. The "prose" is pedestrian and at times crude and ugly. If you would like an absorbing summer read, replete with a gripping plot line, romance and deeply drawn characters, return to the classics and try Anthony Trollope.
