Been pondering why there is no insight to the relationship between Mike and his son, providing any reason for his extensive effort to get him back when in any other regard he only truly cares about himself. I think this infers a god-complex, hyper-fixation, or self-reliance that our human nature tends to resort to in times of despair. Appreciated the allusion to the Tower of Babel in yet another time period as well.

I find it interesting that the author chose McKinley’s assassination and managed to work John Nepomuk Schrank into the narrative - I’ve learned a lot. The revelations about the self-centeredness of man towards the end of chapter 17 will continue to withstand time unless something changes. Looking forward to seeing how it wraps up.

Really liked Mike’s rant on pages 225 & 226. A lot of reviews of this book say there is nothing likable about Mike, but I feel like he’s a honest portrayal of a human. Copernicus Greene is who they should be loathing.

Spoilers! Mike sure does get over guilt quite quickly. Would really think he’d at least help clean up the fire after that, but I guess he figures do what he came there for as quickly as possible to ensure no other mistakes occur in the process. I’m wondering if Linda Hammond’s death is why Jones is there.

Spoilers! It’s had some slow parts, but it picks up pretty well once he makes it back in time. I really like the additional time traveler, adding to the complexity of the timeline conundrum, and Mike’s quick thinking to deter him.

The believability of the time travel is lacking and much time is wasted on the main character failing to understand he’s in a parallel dimension, but I think that shows his ignorance to counteract his pride and I may just be overly critical of these subjects.

I’ve really enjoyed the humorous nature of the conversations between the main character and his wife, and with Lennie. I can’t help but appreciate the authors ability to frame this obnoxious, sarcastic, self-absorbed, antihero of a main character in such a laughable manner.
