I remember reading this book in middle school and enjoying it immensely. Now, however, I didn't even make it halfway through when I had to give up. There are some big ideas in here, but they're not executed well in the slightest. The characters' backgrounds don't add up (Ethan & Matt's feud), the dialogue isn't realistic, and on the whole, the writing is just not up to par. It's really a shame that it didn't withstand the test of time.

i thought that this book was a nice and unique look at time travel and making sure that history happens the way it is supposed to.

Curley is an excellent science fiction writer, and achieved the impossible task if pulling me into the genre. The story is one of a kind and out if this world, and the relationships are priceless, making you want to see more interactions between the characters. The plot has a quick pace and leaves you wanting more, perfect for a series.

I enjoyed the adventure and fantasy in this first novel in the series. This author has a great style of writing. The chapters alternate between Ethan and Isabel's point of view and really add to the characters in the story.

No se si es la traducción o qué, pero está narrado con menos ganas. Prefiero directamente no avanzar con la historia o ver de leerlo en inglés

Si hubiera leído este libro hace unos años lo hubiera disfrutado incluso más.
