meredithf 's review for:
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.
by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson
From a practical physics point of view this is the most realistic portrayal of time travel I have ever read. And from a engineering background I found that fascinating and extremely interesting.
My only issue with this book is that it took until a third of the way in for the actual plot to start. The first third was all background, explanations, examples of how time travel works, etc. And it felt like the author thought the plot was going to be one thing, and once they got 2/3rds of the way in realized it would work better being something else... but then didn't feel it necessary to let us know how the first plot would have gone.
Even though I have some issues with the way the story progressed, overall I did find it to be a relatively enjoyable book.
