Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

Not a great book, but I enjoyed it.

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.

The book was extremely enjoyable, story wise and the performance of the narrators. I wish there was a sequel.
