. . . But, I don't love it. Perhaps if I was still the age of the intended audience, perhaps then I would have loved it -- If I was the age my grandchildren would be, if I had grandchildren; or even if my grandchildren were reading the books along with me, then I would probably think they were gre...
The premise of Timeriders intrigued me. I enjoy a book that journeys through time with people fixing up problems.
