review 1: Some funny parts for sure, especially in the first section. The second section, "How to Survive in ______ Time Period" really doesn't lend itself to reading cover to cover, but, as I borrowed it from the library, that's what I had to do, so I just skimmed those sections.I'm not the target audience for this book, and they say so in the beginning. They say they're talking to males, and they expect there's only one female in the entire audience. And, you know, it kinda shows in the humor deployed - page 1 depicts a timeline based on the hairiness/'hairlines' of women's leg; page 3 talks about going back in time to "totally bone" the 8th grade math teacher, and ... ah, never mind, I don't feel like finding them all. Suffice to say, they are not talking to women, and they say s... moreo in another place, which I can't find right now (mentioning the single female person in their reading audience, at one point).
review 2: I can't give the book five stars, because I simply have not encountered the perfect book yet. It is, however, better than the four stars I gave it. Wonderfully funny, with loads of sci-fi references. Some of the funniest lines in the book are found in the footnotes at the bottoms of most pages.That said, I don't think this is a book for everyone. People who are dorks/geeks/nerds (like myself) will enjoy this book the most. If you watch or read little to nothing that references time travel, you won't understand any of the references the authors make. I mean, it IS a book on time travel, after all! less
