While reading I found myself smiling, tingling, crying (well almost), and just thoroughly enjoying Rewrite Redemption.I love time travel books. And I loved this book. A.J., Lex, Ipod and Constantine were delightful company to keep. Reading as the story unfolded sent me back to my childhood when books were really good, were well-written and allowed you to escape to another place and another time. And then they stayed with you long after you put them down. That is Rewrite Redemption. The writing here was exact, the characters complete and the plot exciting, fun and an unforgettable adventure ride.Walker certainly is talented and she shines in Rewrite Redemption. I could smell the food she described, and it made my mouth water. I could see all the blood on Constantine's shirt and the look on Hosa face when they were hurt, and it made me cringe. I could feel Lex's tears and the immediate connection between A.J. and her Editor, and they made my emotions bubble over.Walker writes beautifully.With that said, some of the book was long and drawn out. I understand how hard it is to put your heart a soul into carefully choosing each word, sentence and paragraph of your story just to have it redlined for deletion by some editor, but that is what needs to be done here. The beginning of the story is drawn out, becoming almost tedious, taking more than half the book for the matter at hand to even be presented. Thoughts and circumstances were repeated too many times. Those pages, however, could be replaced at the end, writing about Charlie and Constantine's week together, or the excitement at the house for A.J. and Lex's final return home. Also, the implicit suggestion by Lex for A.J. to engage in sexual conduct. And even though time travel isn't real, I expect that every other aspect in the book should be (i.e., parental supervision).But none of those things would stop me from reading the book again (yes, I said AGAIN)or, from anxiously awaiting the the next book by Ms. Walker. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone. I wish I could give it ten stars.
