" I must admit that I struggled through this one; I just couldn't convince myself to care about these characters enough. By the end, I was skimming for the most part, but I forged on, and I may even read the second in the trilogy. Time machines just seem so over and out, and here all the good anachronism stuff was just either missing or flat-out lame. If kids are going to go back in time, I want them to take their iPods and their Nintendos and get some cool reactions from the ancient locals or something. But that didn't really happen. Plus I didn't really buy the detective who let the scientists get away with withholding crucial information on a missing child case. Come on. But I think the plot of the next one might be more up my alley. We'll see. "
