Review: Full of Potential

The author had a great idea, full of time travel twists and turns that readers of the genre would love. Unfortunately, that's all there were - elements. I kept envisioning a wallboard filled with 3 x 5 cards. Jotted upon each card was either an historical fact or a nifty plot element. The author plucked one after the other off the board and popped them into the book. Add in a few sentences to join them together and, voila, done! Unfortunately, I feel, the story ended up flat. Lots of potential, though.If you're looking for a mindless read, something to fill a few hours, this book will suffice. Will you find yourself sighing at the end, so completely enamored of the people and story that you'll want to read it again and again? I don't think so.As mentioned in other reviews, character development was lacking. I didn't find myself growing fond of or disliking anyone. Even Cameron ("Cammy?!"), whom we should have hated, didn't seem that bad. I won't reveal a spoiler, but the Big Thing at the end of the book could not have been any less dramatic. I just didn't care.
