RUTH F. (ruthy) reviewed on 3/19/2010 + 56 more book reviews

This book seemed right down my alley since I like science fiction and (non-romance) fantasy. Turns out it wasn't what I expected, but I greatly enjoyed it. It has a flavor of British comedy. That's in keeping with the fact that takes place in England. The science part of fiction isn't the main part of the book - the time travel is more of a tool much like an elevator. Parts at the beginning aren't understood until almost the end so keep reading. Lots of puns and word jokes. There's also the feeling of a combination of 1940's light-hearted movies and "Lucy and Ethel" escapades. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.
