My Review of Teleport

Okay, I am the author's mother, but I am not a sci-fi fan. It took me months before I could even open the manuscript copy of the novel to proofread it for her...bad me. I struggled at first because the word "physics" strikes cold dread in my soul...but once I got over my own issues and into the story...well...she won me over. Here's what I have to say about Teleport by Kelly Buffum, written when she was 23-years old in 2014 and finally self-published in 2017. (Yeah, she reminded me last night that I never reviewed this book for her!)


Mom's Review of Teleport for goodreads:

"This is what happens when brilliant, yet quirky, and in one particular case, anxiety ridden, geniuses get together and tamper with physics. Science that should be life altering really does begin to alter life, but not in a good way! Physics goes awry in this second novel by Kelly Buffum, a talented newcomer to the world of self-publishing. However, I find the development of the relationships between the characters as interesting as the scientific concepts explored in this slim, and at times chilling, little novel. Friendships and kinships are forged as angst ridden HC Riley races to correct an unforeseen, terrifying side effect of his invention of a teleportation device that has transformed how people travel from point A to point B. Sacrifices are made while bonds are strengthened during the race to correct a mistake before it destroys the world."


This would make a sweet little beach read!

Bill I shared your trepidation when I read this book ... sci-fi is not my gig and just the word "physics" makes by eyes glaze over! Overcoming these challenges, I dived in and really liked the tale.

Good review Mom!
