Entertaining romp through time and history, but very sight storywise. Loaded with encounters with famous people, mostly actors, the action consisted of chasing a bad-guy time traveler and trying to undo his meddling. It got old after a while. ( )

"You couldn't ask for a finer guide to the future - or the past - than Doug Molitor. Having so thoroughly enjoyed his 'Memoirs of a Time Traveler,' the next book I read is, without a doubt going to be his 'Memoirs of a Time Traveler' again."
-- Larry Gelbart (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, TV's M*A*S*H, Tootsie.)
