Zero research by the author

I'm to believe that Carl Sagan, in 1969, had a telescope that allowed him to READ the year painted on a craft orbiting Venus? That's a minimum of 25 MILLION miles.

How do I get my money back?

Disjointed storyline, boring narration. I'm pretty sure this would have amused me when I was 6 in 1976. Pass.

Pass on this one

The narration for this book is terrible. The narrator seems to force his voice and at times runs out of breath. His attempts to do different characters fail utterly.
The story is okay, just okay.
I would not recommend this to anyone.

Interesting Read! Fun time Travel.

Would you listen to Out of Time again? Why?

Yes I would. There is a lot of history in this novel. I'm sure it took a lot of thought to keep all of this history straight. It was fun to see what parts of history Mr. Ball could change and what parts he couldn't change.

What other book might you compare Out of Time to and why?

I can't really say, I love Star Trek and time travel in general. I think it could remind you of a lot of different popular shows.

What does Michael C. Gwynne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really like the way he brings the novel to life. His tone helps to understand what the characters are feeling.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh a few times, I don't recall where, but It made me think and recall a lot of interesting times in History.

Any additional comments?

Good story, good narrator also there were times when the author prayed and I just like any novel that shows that prayer is very important in our daily life.
