kozarusama 's review for:

The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov
5.0

Tremendous. I think the themes presented in this novel were some of the classic ideals of a time travel continuum and the problems that come with it. I think the way that this book differs for me - is that it took those classical problems (meeting yourself, changing the past to effect the future, etc) and it postulated new problems that aren't readily recognized.

I thought I knew what this book was going to be about and I was pleasantly surprised with the twist.

And then there was another twist.

and another complication

and another twist

All of which changed my perspective of the genre. In a time where mass market books are vomiting up easy to read word dumps, this book was a refreshing pull from the mundane.
