3.5 - 4 stars. Overall good, but definitely a 'Twilight' for grown ups. Instead of teens at a high school, they are adult professors at Oxford University.

The next book involves time travel which I think will be quite good!!!

Ugh, I didn't make it through much of this. I considered trying to get through it, but after reading some of the other reviews on here, it's just not worth it.
