Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-06 00:00:00 Gregory Lafountain What a great concept! Twins swinging back and forth through time like equal and opposite pendulums is probably not very scientifically sound, but Silverberg uses the idea to give quick yet rich glances at the possible future and past. Also, he makes several references to paradoxes throughout the book and shrugs each off with a "who cares, no one really knows how this stuff would really work anyways" kind of attitude, which was refreshing. It was a real page turner. The only problem with this book is that it could easily be a series - each stop in time being one book. Instead, we just get a glimpse at each stop. This left me wanting more, but such can be said for some of the best books and songs - White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane comes to mind. Silverberg has an easy-flow writing style that is quite enjoyable. I look forward to reading more of his works. I will definitely revisit this book again in the future.
