Went on a bender from a really good read to a really strange one very quickly.

A Rollercoaster Read

I approached this trilogy in an unusual manner because I assumed the third book was the first when I picked it up. Upon beginning the reading, I came to realize my error, but not owning the first book to the trilogy, I chose to go ahead and read through the one I did own. And it turned out that I highly enjoyed the third book enough to make me eagerly purchase the first. Sadly, the first didn't impress me as much as the final book which I unwittingly purchased initially and read. And if you have followed the backwards journey I took to come to know the ending before the beginning, then you will probably do just fine grasping the trail of logic and events that were spun to create this seriously-imaginative adventure that may or may not have happened in the end.

After nearly two months of trying to read this book I have thrown in the towel. Way to wordy and slow moving. I like the tie in to H. G. Wells and the theme of time travel but the attempt at archaic language and structure along with 609 pages was more than enough. I completed the first of three stories this one about Andrew Harrington.

This book tried very hard to be great, but to me, it was just annoying. There was too much explaining and not enough cohesion. Some ideas had potential, but were then abandoned just as I was getting interested. It might have been better as a trilogy.
