Set in Victorian London, with characters real and imagined, The Map of Time boasts a triple play of intertwined plots in which a skeptical H. G. Wells is called upon to investigate purported incidents of time travel and to save lives and literary classics, including Dracula and The Time Machine, from being wiped from existence. What happens if we change history? Félix J. Palma explores this question, weaving a historical fantasy as imaginative as it is exciting

Nicely written. Many plot twists, some rather predictable but others not as much. I liked the fact he worked in so many historical character literary worlds. I will probably see what else the author has to offer.

Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain, yet we know very little about how it works. Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit.

About what you would expect for a pop sci entertainment book
Reviewed: 12-12-18
Just interesting enough to not be boring but leaving me with more questions and a desire to do more research. So, an entertaining and informative read. Mission accomplished.
Pretty well narrated if you appreciate dead pan dry British humor, which I do..,

Not what I expected
Reviewed: 02-02-14
What did you like best about The Hurricane? What did you like least?
The story was well written for what it was. It did a nice job of capturing a slice of modern life. It is probably my fault for not reading the reviews closer, but I was expecting science fiction. This was a teen anxst story with a Hurricane background. Not terribly exciting really.
What was most disappointing about Hugh Howey’s story?
No real climax to the book. A little too pat in the story line. Was expecting something more along the lines of "Wool". My bad for expecting it to be science fiction.
Have you listened to any of Tim Gerard Reynolds’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. Does a find job of reading.
Do you think The Hurricane needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I wouldn't read it. I barely finished this one.
Any additional comments?
If you are thinking about getting this because you liked "Wool", "Dust" or any of that series, don't bother. Not in the same ball park.
