Summary: 1 Stars
Potential paradoxes be damned, I wouldn't mind going back in time a few weeks and spending my $13.95 on something else. The protagonist behaves like a particularly annoying adolescent and seems to get little out of his travels through the decades and centuries other than endless onanistic booty calls. Compiling a two-and-a-half-page list of pivotal historical events prefaced by "I saw" and "I was there for" is unfathomably lazy and does an extreme disservice to the potential of the setup. And had H.G. Wells read "The Man Who Folded Himself" and "The Time Traveler's Wife," he would scramble to use the timebelt to excise from his memory the fact that modern-day authors seem to find the best use of limitless chronological possibilities is to have sex with one's self. It all devolves into a bleak "Outer Limits" scenario that would be depressing were the book and its characters capable of engendering anything more than apathy.
