This book is a science fiction comedy about a motley group of movie makers who travel to the eleventh century to film a Viking adventure.

For such a short book there are an amazing number of surprises, plot twists and turnabouts.

This is a fun book to read.  "The Technicolor Time Machine" is funny book as well as a stimulating adventure story.

I love true tales that reveal a place or era I can never experience myself. While it is true that I could visit some remote hebridean island, I  could never experience the depth and richness experienced by a district nurse in the 1970s. I can't imagine that technology and the Internet haven't transformed the quaint culture of times gone by. Not to say "the good old days" were necessarily better, just likely never to be experienced again.

No more resetting for power failures or daylight savings.  Easy read for sleepy eyes, even shows room temp.in F or C.  Update after 4 years, won't reset accurately, stuck on Jan 1.  I hate having to toss stuff like this that should last a decade or more.

It isn't easy to be a teenager from ancient Pompeii, trying to adjust to the 21st Century. Sabina, who came back with Julia and Nate at the end of the Far-Time Incident, decided to just take the time machine back to the first century and save everyone a lot of bother, but the settings weren't for the year 76, but for '76, as in 1976. Instead of volcanoes and ancient Romans, we have bellbottoms and painted vans. At least the sandals are similar.

As Julia and her friends search for Sabina, they are plunged into the time of their parents, with all the stickiness that can result - or can it? Can history handle this? Can the people of the 20th and 21st centuries handle it? Can they change history?

I'm always a bit sad to reach the end of a beloved series, but I'm not dissatisfied, just a bit wistful. Neve Maslokovic doesn't leave us hanging in the end. I can't wait to find out what she'll write next!

The story of traveling through time via a special clock is interesting. Love how easily history is portrayed through characters who choose to go back in time and those who just end up there by accident. So what's next for this group of time travelers and their children? Can't wait for the next book.

Untimed is an action-packed time travel novel by Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter.

 Charlie's the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, his own mother can't remember his name. So when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don't take him seriously. Still, this isn't all bad. Who needs school when you can learn about history first hand, like from Ben Franklin himself. And there's this girl... Yvaine... another time traveler. All good. Except for the rules: boys only travel into the past and girls only into the future. And the baggage: Yvaine's got a baby boy and more than her share of ex-boyfriends. Still, even if they screw up history -- like accidentally let the founding father be killed -- they can just time travel and fix it, right? But the future they return to is nothing like Charlie remembers. To set things right, he and his scrappy new girlfriend will have to race across the centuries, battling murderous machines from the future, jealous lovers, reluctant parents, and time itself.

I like time travel books and this one was good.  I would read another by her.  It was an easy read and allowed me to relax at the end of a long day.

Interesting concept, good characters. The story involves time travel and altering, preserving and restoring time lines. In the process of the main protagonist executing her mission, she had to reveal herself to various other characters as a time traveler. I found that the characters believed this a little too easily.

Easy to read. I will consider continuing the series.

The Time Machine is a fun read about a time traveler who travels into the future some 800,000 years. The Time Travler speculates that humans have split and evolved into two different classes. One class is called the Eloi; they are a group of peaceful communists who have evolved into weak, unintelligent but elegant child-like beings. Strength and intelligence are no longer needed. Working-class humans have evolved into light-sensivite ape-ish beings called Morlocks who live and work underground. After traveling into the future the time machine is stolen, so the Time Traveler has to find a way to get his machine back so he can travel back to his familiar world.

Now that I have read H.G. Wells' three most popular science fiction books (The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds and The Time Machine) I have to say that The Time Machine is my favorite of the three. Wells keeps the story short and simple, but very imaginitive.

This is a great time travel book. And talk about sparks. They are everywhere. Great read.

One of the first to employ time travel not merely as ascience-fictional trope, but a means to explore a time and place inthe past.  The time travel element itself is kind of weak; you essentially "think" yourself there.

This is a WONDERFUL book both for the time-travel science-fiction enthusiast as well as the history buff.  It would be unfair to disclose any more about this sequel to "Blackout" by the same author.  I highly recommend it.

An amazing anthology with a plethora of takes on the whole time travel idea. These stories will take you from the dawn of time to way in the future and wishing YOU could time travel so you can enjoy the experience all over again.

There is literally something in this book for everyone so whether you have read all of the authors before or they are all new to you I would be you can find a favorite.

An easy 5 stars from me! V""V

I put battery in and set time. Then time started going backwards! The seconds hand turns counter clockwise leading to a strange feeling that you are going back in time. Sadly, I was not going Back to the Future and the clock was just defective. Sending back.

Auto shutting doors are amazing for garages. We always were forgetting to close our door and Ananias would get in. Not anymore. Plus it syncs online to check if doors are open.  Can't wait until they intergrate this into my alarm.
