1.0 out of 5 stars Seems to have been written by a fourteen year old., August 24, 2009
By 
This is one of the worst books I have ever read. The plot was infantile, the "science" was nonsense, and the writting was cliched. Do not buy this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor execution of an interesting idea, April 6, 2009
This review is from: The Time Travelers Academy (Paperback)
This book was "recommended" by Amazon because of another Time Travel book I had done a search on. It was almost free on the Kindle, so I gave it a shot...

...bad idea. The author spends a lot of time developing the primary character, John Richards, and I actually found that interesting. This was all long before "time travel" was even mentioned. Once the time travel part begins, the wheels come off the bus in so many ways...

...the time travelers travel to a planet they have named "Peligroso", and low and behold, the inhabitants speak English. And many have Spanish names as well. The writing is just plain HOKEY...when the helpful scientist keeps saying things like, "this is what I believe you call X" a number of times. This is supposed to be a book, not a 22 minute TV show where you have to have plot conveniences to move the story along.

...and then the primary character (John) runs from state to state in a fraction of a second, because he has "super human powers" from eating food on Peligroso and now he's like Superman. Then, suddenly, he spins a tornado, and lands on MARS, and then runs around Mars real fast, creates his own Time Vortex, and then spins in a tornado again and goes back to earth.

I can't even go on. I'd say the first 1/3 of this book was written with good character development, and the last 2/3 [...]. I almost stopped reading it a dozen different times, but I hate giving up on a book so I plowed on. As a matter of fact, I showed some passages to my 13 year old son, and he rolled his eyes at the cheese-factor.

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible - my elementary school students have more compelling style, November 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book has a great premise but the writing just fails miserably at every turn. Characters and plot lines are introduced then dropped. Problems like how to communicate with the aliens are solved by lines like: I thought communication would be a problem but it wasn't they (the people from another planet 5 billion light years away) spoke English. Puhleeze. At least give us a StarTrek style universal translator.
