“One of the most innovative and humorous time travel tales I have ever read. A must read.” —Michael A. Burstein, John W. Campbell Award winner

“Fast paced, with interesting characters, humor, and of course, some movie references (this is Daniel Kimmel, after all).” —Michael A. Ventrella, author of Bloodsuckers and the Arch Enemies series

First there was Jar Jar Binks Must Die, the Hugo-Award finalist collection of essays discussing science fiction film which Analog called “intelligent and entertaining” and F&SF called “terrific.” Then came Shh! It’s a Secret, the comedy science fiction novel that Publishers Weekly called “a freewheeling, laugh-out-loud satire.” Now Daniel M. Kimmel is back with Time On My Hands, his quirky take on time travel, lost love, divided loyalties, and the eternal search for really good scotch.

Time On My Hands investigates the myriad time travel troubles over which most science fiction readers have pondered, but it presents a fresh take on the time travel novel by adhering to the Aristotelian Unity of Time: it all takes place within a single day.

In the book, Professor Price tells the story of how he came to be in possession of a time travel device (which he may or may not have invented), and how he found his future hiding in his past. But the discovery of time travel will necessitate far more than just building a really cool machine: it’ll take the efforts of many people to figure out how to talk about time travel, the requirements necessary to be an ethical time traveler, and just whose office it is when my yesterday becomes your tomorrow without the courtesy of a knock on the door.

Film critic and professor Daniel M. Kimmel has taught film and media classes at Emerson College, Boston University, and Suffolk University. His book on the history of FOX TV, The Fourth Network, received the Cable Center Book Award. His other books include a history of DreamWorks, The Dream Team, and I’ll Have What She’s Having: Behind the Scenes of the Great Romantic Comedies. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester (where much of Time On My Hands is set) and his law degree from Boston University.

“A sweet shaggy-dog tale of philosophy and paradox in which it’s never too late for true love or redemption, even if you’re a time traveler.” —LJ Cohen, author of the Halcyone Space series

If you like sophisticated time travel adventures that make you ponder time travel paradoxes and time travel and general, then you will enjoy reading this book. Also a love story and a surprising ending.

What's Funny about Time Travel?

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 10 settembre 2022

The answer: Daniel M. Kimmel. From his inclusion of 'Dad Jokes' to the problems of loving someone who is also time traveling (and is somewhere in one of the multiverses, time period unknown), he has great fun discussing the various problems that can come up when one wants to move backward and forward from one time period to another. Some paradoxes, such as meeting your younger self, turn out to be unimportant. But traveling into the future can be totally baffling. The Universe can make your pen run dry to keep you from changing history with a few innocent words, or close entire sections of your history to prevent you from telling yourself something you just have to suffer through. Kimmel may not KNOW that his answers are correct, but his protagonist is a convincing debater. Read this in two evenings.

A Fun Read

Recensito negli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 il 22 settembre 2017

Acquisto verificato

I enjoyed this book a great deal. The characters and setting were well drawn. And I did not know what was going to happen next (something I always appreciate). I especially liked the twist at the end.

It reminded me of old school science-fiction. Things in the story were convenient but it was fun to read. Also it is not the beginning of a series but a stand-alone book. We need more of that. I hate when a book end with a cliff hanger.

I also liked that it was relatively short and not made long by filler material. Too often a long book would be much improved by removing a lot of unnecessary detail and scenes,

A fun read.

Hard to keep the eyelids open.

As an avid science fiction reader, I have to admit that the only enjoyment received by reading the book was that it really helped me sleep.
Maybe I am missing something, after browsing the 5 star reviews, but the story line just dragged on. I managed to read about half of the book before I closed it up and moved on to more interesting novellas.
