If you are passionate about time travel then you likely pay attention to how these stories factor in paradox. It's easy to use the device of TT as a cheap way to get 'Wow' out of a fiction novel with little effort but the true measure of a quality time travel story lies in how it resolves the effect of the travelers be meddling. With that in mind, stay away from this diverting but rather superficial story.

It's saccharine sweet and despite it's clever setting and intriguing potential, your left with a mash-up of Hallmark sentimental drivel and after school special. Any repurcussions that the protagonists travel might trigger are ignored or brushed over and simplistic used to meet serve a simplistic central story.

If however your just looking for a lite adventure yarn then you'll likely be satisfied.
