A review by videoglee

4.0
I absolutely loved this book. It was quite amazing, but some parts I found to be a little bit boring. (That's why I gave four stars instead of five.)
The premise, that of a guy trying to make the world a better place by making sure Hitler was never born, then waking up in that new world and seeing that it hasn't actually improved, and trying to get history back to how it used to be may seem not so amazing, but let me tell you, it was amazing.
What I found really interesting, was the way the author used other means than merely pages of 'normal' written text, but also something I thought was a screenplay.
The book itself is, for me, a reminder that not just one factor plays a role in a particular event, and just eliminating that particular factor won't make everything alright.
