I admit, I picked up this book for 2 reasons. #1 I like reading time-travel books to see what other people feel is important to change. #2 I wanted to see what the author did to Babe Ruth, who is a (few times removed or whatever) cousin of mine. (It was fine, and I laughed a few times when he hit the nail on the head about GHR.)I admit freely that I am a person to whom covers are important, and I think this cover fits with the 1919 themey feel of the whole story.Suspension of disbelief is a little necessary during the building of the time machine.. I don't care how much of a genius someone is, Radio Shack is not the be-all/end-all of electronic components. If the author had just said something like, {He started scouring websites to find the parts needed} I think it would have been more believable.As to the story itself once the two men are in the past, I really enjoyed it. I liked how their "planning" wasn't quite perfect all of the time, and they would have to come up with new parts to their plans or change the plans a bit to cover unknown situations. Reality is you can't perfectly plan every situation, and it's nice to see that reflected in a story.
