5.0 out of 5 stars Sci-Fi with a twist, 22 Mar 2009
By K. Jamison (Co. Down, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Man Who Folded Himself (Hardcover)
I was attracted to this book because someone wrote that it was a different type of time travel book.

And they were right.

This is not about the science behind time travel or the science-fiction that we love to devour.

This is about the human side of time travel and what it means to be a person who can travel in time.

It's an emotional journey that tugs you every which way from the first page to the last.

Not the sort of book I would have chosen to read by chance, but I'm glad that I did!

4.0 out of 5 stars Timetravel with a slant, 25 Jun 2002
This review is from: The Man Who Folded Himself (Spectra) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am not very fond of time travel stories, but this one does not go into the usual "what if we changed this" genre and explored something totally different.

The book follows a young man through his life as he discovers the magic about the time travel. Even though there are many advantages to time travel there is several disadvantages too. Like our main character that looses track of his history and do not know which time he is from.

I can't reveal too much of the content of the book or else I will give away the surprise ending of the book.

The book is well written in known Gerrold style and is a must for the collector.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mind Bending, 8 Oct 2009
This book is one of the most personal science fiction books I have ever read. Definitely read this if you're into time travel books. Such a simple but unique take on the genre.
