Review: Unusual and Very Funny Read

Time after Time describes itself as Terminator meets Attack the Block. It's set in both a futuristic society where men have been emasculated and women rule the roost; and a council housing estate in the present time. The premise is simple, go back, kill the mother that spawned the child who changed the world and, like magic, men will once again be men. However, as we know from our quantum physics, there are many ways to kill a cat and we can't be sure they've worked unless we open the box. Therefore the parallel universe must also be considered and each one has a potentially different outcome. Our hero, or is it anti-hero, must overcome the woman many times and the writing style Marc has adopted reflects this very eclectic approach. This is definitely a book to get your head around and it probably wouldn't work for those who like a linear sort of story. But it is hilarious and the visual imagery Marc employees in different ways has made me see my other half in a potentially different light indeed. If you are a fan of Terry Pratchett or Hitch Hikers Guide then you might just find this a book to match them. I loved it.
