Time after Time is different to say the least. This is the story of F-10, a curious man from the future who is sent to the past to change History. The future is ruled by women and by ruled I mean they are the genre in charge, they are no longer the weakest sex. The men are in an inferior position and are treated like almost like slaves. Everything is done according to what women say and they are a little evil for what we can read.F-10 is contacted by Roger and he convinces him to go back in time and kill the Prophet, the woman who initiates the movement that brings this new world. Easy to say, hard to do for a man without violence experience and with no gun.The story doesn't have a lineal course. Set in parallel universes, the story goes forward and backward to show us how little details can change the final result. When story start repeating itself I was surprise to see how a word could create a different story. This is what is magnificent about the butterfly effect, life is a chain of decisions and each one presents its own future.The book is supposed to be a humor story and it is at times. There is more than one funny dialogue and some hilarious situations. Some scenes between Haley and F-10 are amazing and make you laugh out loud, especially because he is nave and is like a child seeing the world for the first time.However, I had a hard time trying to read the slang from the Dj and his brother, I am absolutely sure that they are perfectly written but I think the problems was that English is not my first language and I couldn't really appreciate and enjoy their dialogues. I understood most of it and find it fun but not as gracious as I imagine it is intended to be.Another good thing is how music helps telling the story. The songs are placed in the correct places and made the reading more gratifying. The cover is BEAUTIFUL and captures the book essence.In general is a fun book, with good quality of writing and a sincere and innocent main character.*** I received an ecopy from the author in exchange for an honest review. ***
