I loved this book, as it was a refreshing change to read a book from a boys point of view. It is also unique as time travelling novels are concerned.This is the story of Jackson, who seems to be an ordinary teenage boy of 19, but in reality, he is far from ordinary. He can jump back in time. He has ...

This was an interesting take on an old theme. Time travel and romance. Jackson has a secret but it seems that more people know about it than he realized. His jumps to the past are harmless fun and a great source of data for his geek friend Adam who is helping him develop his new talent. But he becom...

Time travel is a very tricky subject to get into. (Look at the epic failure of Lost for example). There is the usual paradox of, if we go back in time then what happens must already have happened to make us go back. As well as the endless time loop theories. Tempest battles this with separate timeli...

I read so many rave reviews of this book and subsequently put it on hold at the library. When it finally came in, I probably should have returned it after I read the blurb on the inside of the dust jacket. But instead I read the first few pages of the book, and THEN returned it to the library.I'll...

Right off the bat, I want to make it perfectly clear that I liked this book. I had some issues with it, and I'm always afraid that when I talk about them, people will think I didn't like it, or that the bad outweighed the good, which is certainly not the case here. I really enjoy books about time...

In 2009, Jackson Meyer is a normal guy. He's in college, he has a girlfriend, and he can travel back in time. Nothing big, though. Nothing changes when he makes these jumps. It's just for fun. But one day two strange men burst in on Jackson and Holly, and in the struggle, Holly is shot. Then Jackson...

When I first heard about TEMPEST and the hype surrounded it, I was conflicted. On one hand, I do love a good male POV drama. On the other, I hate hype. I will admit it, I’m such a pessimist that I don’t know what to do with myself. Thanks to LibraryThing I won a copy of TEMPEST and eventually got ar...

English version to come.Tempest, primo volume dell’omonima saga, è un romanzo per ragazzi estremamente godibile e ricco d’azione e, cosa da non sottovalutare, con una sua conclusione.Fulcro di questa narrazione sono i viaggi nel tempo: Jackson è infatti in grado di spostarsi lungo l’asse temporale, ...
