Book Reviews of The Accidental Time Machine
Book Review: Light and fun time travel story
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a genial time travel story - MIT assistant discovers a piece of kit that can move forward (not backward) in time, each jump having to be further then the previous one. So off he jumps into various futures and sees the various changes in society in future years and thousands of years....
This is very light and fun. Although the author explores his usual themes of change there is no real sense of danger or tension although some of the darker `futures' had a real opportunity to do so. Haldeman touches on religion but again avoids making a real point.
The book felt very 1950's SF and although I felt was a little too light it was fun and easily read in one or two sittings.
