How do I even describe this book? To say it's a bit strange is an understatement and I don't think it will be everyone's cup of tea, however, I found it funny, surprisingly emotional and somewhat thought provoking amid all the sci fi jargon. Not to mention that I have a huge soft spot for time travel stories, so this was definitely up my alley in the first place. It has the same kind of zany feel as Douglas Adams, although I think Douglas Adams is still a few notches up. It was a quite compelling read, fast paced, humorous and though not action packed, it manages to keep you flipping pages to see what's around the corner. Top that off with a poignant and touching look at life and how we live it in relation to our past, present and future and whether we actual engage in it or just ride along with it and the story goes from just a fun sci fi romp into something a little more. I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it's a worthwhile read if you don't mind a story that's a bit strange and you enjoy time travel, sci fi and maybe a small dose of heart.
