Title: Read Jack Finney Instead
Review: I, too, wanted to like this book, but in the end, just didn't. My main problem is the complete failure of Claire's internal logic regarding subjecting a child to the same dreadful existence as her husband's. They show up naked in strange places, for God's sake! The novel is an oddly amateurish effort, and I can't recommend it (very weak dialog, plotting, all those pretentious references to punk bands, and the unforgivable "beamish boy"...who talks like that?) For really good time travel, buy Jack Finney's Time and Again and From Time to Time. For weird genetic anomalies, try Max Tivoli - great story and utterly lyrical. Skip this one.
