Lost in time by A .G Riddle

by Ronald S. Terry

THIS IS NOT A BOOK BY A. G RIDDLE NOR IS IT AFFILIATED WITH HIM. IT IS AN INDEPENDENT PUBLICATION BY RONALD S. TERRY THAT SUMMARIZES HIS BOOK IN DETAIL.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read! An amazing story of love, murder, betrayal, multiple universes, dinosaurs – and just what 'causality' really means" Diana Gabaldon "Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this intricate outing which combines a fantastic premise – a time-travel device known as Absolom is used to imprison dangerous criminals in the prehistoric past – with a closed-circle whodunit... Riddle keeps the twists coming, including a mind-bending jaw-dropper that sets up the book's second half. By creating sympathetic and complex characters, the author makes suspending disbelief easy. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough" Publishers Weekly Starred Review "We're talking high-concept thriller here... there are many japes and high jinks ahead" The Times "The book picks up like a great roller coaster. With a nod to John Varley's Millennium, the thrills in this mystery are not so much about who the killer is but how to save lives while maintaining their timeline" Booklist "Are we talking plot twists? More like spirals. Gripping, clever, mind-bending stuff" Daily Mail "A gorgeously dense and satisfying yarn... A hugely recommended high-concept page-turner" Starburst Magazine

A quick page turner for a long book. Yes, it held my interest. No, there was no character development. It's more of a whodunit. This would make a great movie or TV series. As for the writing, it was ok--clear and concise--but that's about it. Sometimes, the author would throw in a one-liner to forward the plot and you'd be like--wait what? It's like he wrote an outline and then only filled out certain parts of it with actual writing. In terms of time travel, I find it totally uninteresting to read about someone dodging dinosaurs in the Triassic period. Maybe that would be more compelling in a film. Also, the writing from the perspective of a 19-year-old girl did not ring true. Without inserting spoilers here, let's just say that even when something traumatic and earth-shattering happens to a teenager they would not suddenly start thinking like an adult. And did I miss the part where she instantly knew everything there is to know about finance? I know she was being trained by you-know-who for certain eventualities, but did I miss the lesson on credit default swaps and mortgage backed securities? I recommend this book if you want a diversion but it's forgettable. For thought provoking writing about time travel and for compelling characters I recommend Mark Lawrence's books. I read The Book that Wouldn't Burn and loved it and am now reading One Word Kill.

Totally boring. Very disappointed. I could not even finish it. So different from the Genome series.
