Most of these stories were takes on time travel that I hadn’t heard/thought of before. I really enjoyed about 95% of the stories, there was only a few that didn’t quite live up to the other stories in the collection.

Ok, so I'm a time travel story junkie. This book was quite fulfilling in that you get just about every different kind of time travel scenario and type out there and then some. There is huge variety in this book and all but a couple of them were really good and a few that were amazing. Each story is prefaced with a sort of history of the author and the type of time travel that is held within. I would totally recommend this book for anyone needing a quick fix for time travel or if you would like know a little more of the variety of time travel ideas that are floating around out there.

There were several 5 star stories in this but a few that I just really didn't like...

This is a well curated anthology of time travel stories. My most liked were The Wind over the World by Steven Utley, The Truth about Weena by David J. Lake, Needle in a Timestack by Robert Silverberg, Dear Tomorrow by Simon Clark, Time Gypsy by Ellen Klages, The Catch by Kage Baker and Red Letter Day by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

At least two of the stories, The Wind over the World and The Catch have spurred me to continue reading more from these authors.

Red Letter Day is, in my opinion, the best story in the anthology. There is a lot to unpack in this story including religious vs. secular education, guns in schools, the role of school counselors and the choices we make as we grow older and how they affect our lives. A lovely, brilliant short story.
