Book Reviews of The Accidental Time Machine
Book Review: A disjointed mash-up of ideas
Summary: 2 Stars
This novel started out as a promising, light-hearted adventure, but when the story really took off, it didn't seem to have anywhere to go. First, we get an awkward exploration of the near-future, which the protagonist escaped on the flimsiest of pretexts. From there, we land in the "meat" of the story, which turns out to be a overly long, shallow, point-and-laugh criticism of religion. To wrap it all up, he throws in a malevolent AI, a confusing deus ex machina, and a "romance" that is really nothing more than lust and curiosity. In the end, it felt like Haldeman had a bunch of unrelated (and rather uninspired) ideas about the future, and invented a vehicle to throw them all together and call it a novel.
Summary of The Accidental Time Machine
NOW IN PAPERBACK-FROM THE AUTHOR OF MARSBOUNDGrad- school dropout Matt Fuller is toiling as a lowly research assistant at MIT when he inadvertently creates a time machine. With a dead-end job and a girlfriend who left him for another man, Matt has nothing to lose in taking a time-machine trip himself-or so he thinks.
