Review: Entertaining Novelette
Rating: 3 out of 5

I received this book for free and enjoyed reading it although I felt at times it was like a condensed version of the real story. It leans towards the young adult genre but is quite a sophisticated story with time travel and the hero having to deal with different languages and cultures. The pace of the book is good but there was not a lot of detailed description so the reader has to use their imagination, which is not a bad thing, but there could have been more word pictures. The romance in the book is fairly chaste and endearing and the story touches on some serious issues like global warming and developing cultures. There were some strange spelling choices like never-the-less instead of nevertheless (location 377) and shown for showed (location 423). I feel this writer could develop his craft and produce an interesting full length excellent novel without too much problem.
