Customer Reviews
Great Book!
This is my first science fiction book to read in years. I always read mysteries, gothic, or love stories. Once I was into it, I found out it was nothing like I thought it was going to be. A lot of books you read and later forget, but this is one book that is so different, I don't think I will ever forget it. The way the author described things, I could actually see and smell (yes smell) things. I would like to see this book make into a movie and I would hope they would keep it with the PG rating so younger ones could see it too. I think all would enjoy.
Not really SciFi
The genre classification is misleading. The SciFi element of time travel is used only to create a believable setting for the classic conflict of prejudice, racism, and the struggle for freedom in the future USA. This tale does not rely on gadgets and fantastic scenery to keep the reader’s attention. The story evolves around the characters who come to life (and death) to make the reader laugh and cry. The hero is faulty. The villain is almost redeemable. The supporting female character is a role model for today's woman. Romance, action, intrigue, and conflict create a tragedy of “Biblical proportions.” Superstitions, faith, and destiny transform an emotionally immature hero into myth of legendary status. Regardless of your genre preference, you won’t be disappointed. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down.
The best "SciFi" choice for readers who hate SciFi
I was reluctant to start this, since I do not like SciFi genre. But once I started, I couldn't put it down.
The perfect SciFi story for people who hate SciFi
I don't like Science Fiction, but once I started, I couldn't put it down. The chapters are like potato chips. (just one more). The characters are rich and fully developed and will make you both laugh and cry. I would recommend this book for people who don't like Science Fiction (like me).
