This one was just okay... I read this book because I thought it was a science fiction book about time travel! Turns out, it is only pseudo-science fiction. Actually, it is more like contemporary fiction about a failing marriage after the couple's child dies, but one of the main characters is a scientist working on a time machine.
The set-up took forever but I kept plugging away because I was promised an epic time travel twist. But... that never really came. The ending felt rushed and was quite dissatisfying.
Also, there is a lot of profanity, alcohol and drug abuse mentioned, some sexual content, evolutionary theories referenced as fact, and disdain for religion.
If this had been advertised for what it is - that is, not science fiction - I think I would have been less disappointed.
