Title: Something for Everyone!
Review: Doomsday Book is an engaging and emotional journey to both the past and the future. The genres in this book are so varied - do you like alternate history? Science fiction? Medieval literature? Medical mystery? Drama? There's something for you!As Medieval Student Kivrin embarks on a time-travel mission to the 14th century, something goes wrong. And then people start to fall sick in her home timeline. Kivrin is stranded in the past, not quite when she was supposed to be, and worried about the the shadow of the Black Death. Is it coming? What will happen to her and village people she is starting to connect with?If you enjoy a well-written speculative fiction story with memorable characters, this book is for you! I rate it for 12 and older on the Aardvark scale for death and social issues. Younger children would probably not enjoy it anyways, as it is fairly dense and complex, like so many of Connie Willis's well-developed tales.
