Thoroughly enjoyed this, though it wasn't quite what I was expecting going into it. The book description is a little misleading, since you don't get to the events described in it until the last 100 pages of the book.

This book actually is three individual stories in one that all come together in the end. I personally liked part two of three the best even though there is no actual time travel involved. The author mixes fictional characters with fictional representations of actual people, most notably H.G. Wells, author of "The Time Machine." At first, I wasn't sure I liked that. But when I realized that this book was written as a tribute to Wells, I set my feelings aside and approached it with an open mind. I ...more
