Book Reviews of The Accidental Time Machine
Book Review: What the "Time Traveler's Wife" Wants to be when it Grows Up!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished this book, and I couldn't put it down! Now, if Mr. Haldeman would just get on with INVENTING the time machine that would let me go back a couple of days and read this book again without knowing what will happen...
Truly outstanding! The book defies what authors are "supposed to write." That is, it is a very plot driven story, with minimal character traits to start with. Nevertheless, the Matthew and Martha characters grow quietly and subtly until you really start to follow them. Rather than the first 5 pages consisting of all the characters, their faults and motivations, their introspection and navel gazing, this book starts with a situation. We start with a mysteriously disappearing machine. We deal with events, with plot. Only through the events do the characters come into focus. This is a refreshing change from the contrived way that most novels today develop.
I hope Neil Gaiman reads this one. I think he'll appreciate it!
