Was very excited to receive the e-book in exchange for an honest review! This was a fun, quick read; it was not something that I would usually pickup but the plot was interesting enough that it kept my attention while also being simple enough that I didn't have to focus too hard on what I was reading. Kind of like your favorite sitcom that you throw on in the background while completing everyday tasks.
Dan is your average, run of the mill 30ish year old. Living an average life as a plumber until one day, he is thrown through time, ending up in the past. Eventually, after a couple of jumps through time, he ends up in Shakespearean England, without a clue of what he is doing or how time travel works. There, he meets Freddie, a fellow time traveler that has been stuck in the past for 27 years. With Dan's help, Freddie follows Dan through time, teaching him the ropes and forming a connection along the way.
There is a rhythm accustom to live theater, in this case improv, that I could sense within this book immediately! Which, after looking up the authors, made SO MUCH sense. It is also written in third person, with the narrator frequently addressing the reader with quick comedic jabs or remarks. I would recommend this to a slightly middle-aged crowd, based on the references, to someone that enjoys a fast paced sci-fi with a heavy sketch comedy feel.
