Michael Young is a brilliant young history student whose life is changed when he meets Leo Zuckerman, an ageing physicist with a theory that can change worlds.

Together they realise that they have the power to alter history and eradicate a great evil. But tinkering with timelines is more dangerous than they can imagine and nothing - past, present or future - will ever be the same again.

Making History is funny, moving, romantic and told with Stephen Fry's characteristic skill and brilliance.

It is a good book but no Mr. Fry's best. I loved the premise but I felt that it really didn't bring anything new to the genre. I can't say more than that without ruining the book. I had a few laugh out loud moments that certainly gave me some funny looks in the Dr's office.

Stephen Fry is his usual outstanding self as narrator.

Not a great book, but I enjoyed it.
