Synopsis: TIME IS NOT ON HIS SIDE.

Sean Bennett is just your everyday, ordinary lab worker in a high-tech lab with a prototype time machine. And, yeah, he's got the same temptations any of us would have about going back in time, just a bit, to correct mistakes of the past and right old wrongs. So when he meets a version of himself from the future who encourages him to do just that, Sean takes the temporal plunge. Only ... can you guess what happens next? Did you read the book title? Yup. All of TIME is f#&%ed up now, and it's up to Sean to correct it - or else!

Review: I am a fan of time travel stories, especially ridiculous ones like this one. This book was fun. The opening really sets the tone well. There's dinosaurs and a descendent of Abraham Lincoln is ruling. The time shenanigans than ensue are fun and adventurous.

The way time travel works in this book doesn't quite follow the rules I like the most, but if you don't get too bogged down on the details, it's quite the ride. There are also some humorous death sequences. The twist ending feels deserved and I liked it.

I give this book a 4/5. It was a quick, fun read. Great visuals. You just can't think about it too much and just enjoy it.
