I tried, I really did. I tried for 350 pages. I kept waiting for the book I was reading to relate to the summary on the back. Time travel was involved and H.G. Wells appeared for a while. And that about sums up the relationship.Mostly it was privileged people whining about falling in love across ...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! I used whatever minutes I had at work and all other spare time I could steal from my insanely busy life right now to just lose myself in its pages. The trio of intertwined stories and interesting portrayal of H.G. Wells really left me wishing I had time during...
Perhaps the thing that can best sum up the experience of reading The Map of Time is that I couldn't for the life of me figure out what bookshelves I should put it on. Is it fantasy? Is it science fiction? Is it historical fiction? It's not Victorian, even though the entire thing takes place there. I...
"A Spanish author gets his first American import with this thoroughly entertaining mock-Victorian novel featuring H.G. Wells as a reluctant time-travel consultant." YES PLEASE.Unfortunately Jennifer only gave it two stars, so I'll have to look for more opinions before just diving into it.

It would finally get really interesting, then change to something else. So, while I think it had a good idea, I just had too many ...

I don't even consider it a Science Fiction or a Time Travel book. I actually feel tricked. It is a Victorian Lite...
When I first heard about The Map Of Time I was intrigued. It is fiction but it incorporates real people and real events into that. It sounded really interesting and I wasn't too daunted by the 612 pages. That all changed once I actually started reading it. I could not get into the story and 612 ...
While I like the idea of this story & I've enjoyed the main plot so far, it's just way too involved for me to keep reading right now. Every time it feels like the story is really starting to get going we get a story about the past. I'd like to finish it some day, but for now, as busy as I am, I'm go...
