Amy’s comments from the Drop Everything And Read group.

I loved that book. It never built into the crescendo that I wanted, though. The plot was sad and sort of fizzled. (view spoiler)[I guess that was like his life, though? The reality of the situation isn't very exciting and glamorous. It was an incredibly realistic ending. *edit*
As realistic as time traveling people giving birth to more time traveling people could be. :) (hide spoiler)]

I really liked that story and her sarcastic wit was what kept me engaged. It is a bit wordy, though, isn't it? haha
