I enjoyed this greatly. Yes, there were a few things that bugged me (arriving in 1919 w/ money, building the machine relatively easily, etc.), but it's a fantasy novel. Suspension of disbelief is required and I was willing to do that.TBTC is very well researched. The writer really brings 1919 -- and its real and fictitious characters -- to life. I actually wish this was a bit longer. The conclusion, while good, seemed kind of rushed. Among other things, I especially wanted to know how things turned out for Babe Ruth.My complaints are very minor -- and are the direct result of having enjoyed the story. If I didn't enjoy it, the little things wouldn't have bothered me at all.There's a sequel coming and I'll eagerly buy it and read it.
