As a former Investment Advisor, I enjoy all Wall Street novels.  This was well done and kept my interest going.

I liked the development of the characters. They were all very human. The story was well paced and let you use your imagination to predict the ending. I liked the way it endured without getting into many lurid details.

Said enjoyed this book. The rhythmic cycle of the narrative between times made it easier to follow the three interwoven story lines than if they had tried to get more creative with it. They did a good job of keeping you wondering how they all came together until the end.

This was a quick paced read. There was some romance involved but not much, thank goodness. It was quite easy to get quite in valves w/ the characters which always makes reading a better experience. The preservation over $$$ was well done, not offensively " in your face" . Nicely done.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found myself smiling frequently. People have wondered who is the target audience. I also found myself wondering who will like it and who won't. It is fairly slow paced, but I found it hard to put the book down. The story is interesting and straight-forward. It doesn't jump around it time or in character perspective. There is no violence, no sex, no action sequences. The clear descriptions bring the robot to life. At times I felt like I could be watching a movie.

This book kept me engrossed. There were a couple of times when I felt there was too much detail on the tech side, or maybe that's just because I am not a young chicken anymore. :-)  Characters were good. Pace was fast and not always expected. It was definitely readable and developed enough on it's own, without having read the previous books in the series, though knowing characters from them was helpful. I have definitely started looking for proof reading errors, as the electronic books seem to have more than I ever remember when reading paper,  but there were only a very few that I noticed.

Since becoming disabled my reading hobby has become my daily ritual.  I have read over 300 books in just the last year.  And of all those books this book had the most straight forward story line and yet just enough questions left at the end to want to read the next book.  Here's hoping for a few more twists and turns.  And though I didn't dock my review any there were the usual need to have someone double check the writing for missing words mostly.  Keep your hobby going, it will be the best parts of my hobby.

Story engages you from page 1. It's a well written fast paced book. It's not the most complex plot and i think relies a little too much on Sherlock to figure everything out but its forgivable with such good writing.

Author's style has a nice cadence.  It kept the story flowing. One-third of the book is notes but the 200 pages that are story are well written and interesting.  Buy it now while it's a monthly deal on sale.

Based on the other reveiws for this book I wasn't overly excited about it when I purchased it, I'm glad I did.  The book is fast moving with just the right amount of characters and challenges.  The ending was great!  Enjoy!

Quick engaging view of the role that Einsteins wife might have had in his famous contributions to physics. The author explains at the end of the book that she took some literary licenses with some facts but the essence of the story rings true. Good book group story.

I read other books by Tom Merritt and liked them so I took a chance and pre-ordered this one. I am glad I did.

I thought the book was enjoyable. The story was interesting. For a time-traveling story it was easy to follow and I did not get lost in where or when the action was taking place.

It is a pretty quick read. I was able to complete the book in a day. I found that a refreshing change from some books that really make you slog through minutiae without really advancing the story. The story moves along and never gets bogged down.

The story is self-contained. It starts and finishes in this book. I would like to see more stories in the universe that has been created here. If he ever writes other stories in this universe I would buy them.

I am glad I bought the book. It's the first paper book I've bought in 5 or more years.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was slow going initially but things picked up a bit as it went along.

To quote another reader/reviewer, DJ Enigma (from Goodreads): The writing style. I was impressed with how Deanna Raybourn managed to use very concise, clean language to convey a period that would naturally promote the opposite from a writer. And she did it without breaking my immersion. I can't imagine that was easy to do.

I agree 100%. The writing was beautiful. The word usage was typical of the time but not cumbersome.

The characters on the whole were interesting and full of life. Each was unique and made you want to know more about them. I particularly loved how open the March family was and accepting of each of their children's eccentricities. I have to wonder how realistic that would be in that time period but it made for good reading.

The lead male was a bit of a flop for me in this book. He was an ass overall and treated her poorly. There was no sexual tension between them at all, despite the implication that there should be. I believe some of this has to do with this being a series and the author wanting to draw that out through the books. It also implies that while romance is part of the series, the series is about Lady Julia and her LIFE--not just her bedchamber.

There were some twists and turns in the book but it wasn't terribly difficult to figure out "whodunit?" in the end.

I have the next two in the series and will read them. I want to see where she goes next.

The book was easy to read.  I throughly enjoyed the short story format.  It expained the ultimate controls that money has on all of us and suggests ways to change.  Much cheaper than analysis.

The story is well done; the writing gives realistic possibilities to 'whodunnit', while leading the reader through a maze. The clues were well hid but still exposed . Enjoyable reading.
