So, I remember reading a lot of these Time Machine books when I was about 10 or 11.
I remember them being awesome! I was really into the Choose Your Own Adventure books, and the Time Machine books were similarly crafted.
Being that it was about 25 years ago, they may or may not hold up today. I'm gonna assume that they do, as I do with everything that seemed great to me in the 80's.

As with the only other one in this series I have read, Sword Of The Samurai, the fact that there is only 1 ending really gets annoying. In this case it was ridiculous, i was going round and round for ever. Also it's not that interesting a story as there is little human interaction.
