You've never read a time travel story like this. Leave it to Isaac Asimov to write something that bends your view of science and reality. It's amazing too that, even though this book was written in the 1950s, few other writers have come close to his vision. Many science fiction writers today tend to write in a vacuum and not considering the "bigger scheme of things", if you will. Not to say that that is a bad thing, but it's just refreshing to revisit the Golden Age of science fiction, when giants like Asimov ruled the science fiction world with their grand, sweeping ideas about space, time and time travel.
I really shouldn't have read the middle portion of this book with a high fever. It didn't help that Asimov used the second act of the book to lay on the big theories and heavy ideas. I admit that I was more than a little lost part of the time. Still, it's a time travel story, and if you think too deeply into it, it's just going to fry your brain (just like that line from Looper). So accept it, enjoy the ride and let Asimov take you into his far-reaching mind.

Time travel? I'm in. Great plot, slightly boring characters, but if you're an Asimov fan, you'll love this.
QUE GRAN LIBRO. No tengo palabras para explicar lo que me hizo sentir
Un excelente libro sobre viajes en el tiempo, le da una vuelta a todo lo que he leído anteriormente. Una visión no tanto científica, sino mas bien filosófica y la influencia que pueden tener las personas en los hechos ocurridos y por ocurrir. Nos hace plantear nuestra posición, y si estamos del lado de los que justifican esa intervención y los que no. Muy fácil de leer, escrito magistralmente, sin complicaciones, y con los elementos de un buen thriller que enganchan desde el principio.
