3.0
I loved Deja-Vu, and this book continues the time travel theme, with the first few chapters written in an almost Memento-esque style where each steps back further into the past to add additional context to the chapter you've just read.
Flashback is less about the technology and process of time travel, and more about the effects it has on the psychology of the travellers, particular those who have spent a few too many years in the past...
It is intelligently written and quite complex in places, and I am certain that some aspects of the plot have missed me (my fault, it was a hectic time when I read it!) but such books are more rewarding, and linger in your head long after the final page has been turned.
Overall for me it was a 3.5 stars to Deja-Vu's 4, with Amber Rooms definitely in my future timeline!
