The Children Who Time Lost Marvin 9780957624436 Books

It roped me in with the potential for a good story/ending so I read the whole thing, but the ending was utterly unsatisfying and horrible. I want those hours of my life back!
The futuristic stuff described for the first several chapters (taking place in 2043) was utterly ridiculous. This is only 30 years in the future. Everything floating with no legs under tables and chairs, all cars floating, is totally not plausible. There would be a mix of technology. All sectors of society don't en masse switch over to such a fundamental change in technology in that short a period of time. Once the character time-travelled back to 2013, the author was on much more comfortable footing.
At least it was clean, and the author didn't resort to graphic sex or swearing scenes whenever he didn't know how else to fill the pages.

The negatives

Not far enough in the future?
It seemed odd to me that a good portion of the book took place only 30 years in the future and yet so many things had changed. One of the biggest changes was flying cars - I just can't see that, in the span of thirty years, not only would flying cars have been invented, but the infrastructure would have been put in place for this to be the only mode of transportation. I mean, it's taking my state 4 years to widen a highway near my house! Other advances were robots who basically took over all menial tasks (again, this seems a bit far-fetched for just 30 years in the future) and strange things like floating couches. (Really? Why exactly would we want or need our couches to float?). I just felt like a good portion of the book should have been taking place further in the future (although you do find out that the timeline is kind of crucial, but I won't spoil how) OR there should have been a really good explanation given for why technology suddenly advanced so quickly (I think there was kind of an implied reason, but it certainly wasn't spelled out as well as it needed to be).

What I Loved

The unique plot.
When I read the synopsis for this book, I was immediately intrigued. I mean, when was the last time you read a book about a barren society that travels through time to adopt children from the future? Um, never? That's what I thought. And the idea of the lottery was also incredibly interesting to me. Imagine if children were so precious that the only way to get one was to enter a huge lottery and hope and pray that your name would be called. Most couples would "play" the lottery for years with no luck. Just imagine how precious a child would be in this society. And then, the idea that Rachel has lost a child is just that much more heartbreaking.

Lots of action and suspense.
Fans of sci-fi action will be very happy with this book because the action pretty much never stops. Rachel (and others with her) are pretty much constantly running from danger and are constantly under attack. No one is safe in this book - the stakes are high and people die. Then there are the central mysteries of the book - there are lots of them. Who is running the lottery and what are their motives? What happened to the Children Who Time Lost (the first set of children who were supposed to be brought back from the future, but who never arrived). Who is after Rachel and what do they want with her new son? There are lots of twists in this book - some of which I saw coming, but some that were a surprise.

The ending.
This book had a unique ending that I was not expecting - at least not in the way it played out. I can't say much more without giving things away, but the ending was somewhat shocking and left me with questions - not sure if plans to turn this into a series, but he certainly could!

If you're a fan of sci-fi thrillers, then this book is sure to please. The Children Who Time Lost is action-packed and very unique! I give it 4/5 stars.

It’s hard to find the right words for this review. I didn’t know exactly what I was getting into when I started this book, I just knew I wanted something different. You probably notice my tendency to review romances, and every so often I like to clear my head of all the happily ever afters. I got that here … I think.

There are so many twists and turns, very few of which I saw coming (though one of Rachel’s secrets I did figure out a bit before it was revealed). The whole book blurred because I needed to read it as fast as I could, wanting to know so many of the mysteries that went into the book the infertility, the truth behind the Lottery, why she goes back in time … and finally what happens to Rachel in the end.

Rachel is an incredibly strong, determined heroine, worthy of the name heroine. She doesn’t stop, even when she sees everyone around her murdered as the villains of the book try to capture her before she can let loose the truth she has accidentally stumbled on after being gifted a child in the Lottery. She travels through time to the past to unlock what happened to render humanity childless, and to figure out why she was the first one in a generation to birth a child. The answers she finds are so far beyond what she could ahve expected when she set out, it’s mind-blowing (okay, my mind was blown, but I’m not necessarily the best example for whether or not that’s a good thing).

I totally rooted for her to, to steal a popular tagline, Outwit, Out Last, and Out Play the bad guys. And every time I thought I’d figured something out, Mr. turned up with another twist.

I am totally going to put this author on my list of Must Reads. He’s great and I hope his other books are just as good.

Thank you, Mr. and thank you NetGalley!

If you are a sci fi you will love this book. It is a mystery as well as a alien vs mankind? Once you get into the story there is no stopping.
Very interesting. Enjoyed the book very much.
For me this was like being trapped in a bad recursive half-drunk dream. It flowed, but had no consistent logic and seemed detached from science, rationality or plausible plotting.
This is a phenomenal, non-stop action story with interesting futuristic technology. The characters are well developed and the book moves along at a very fast pace with several unexpected twists. The ending absolutely blew my mind!! This is a great read and I highly recommend it.
This is a ridiculous book with a ridiculous ending. If it's being given away free, it makes an okay read. But if you're paying for it, it's terrible. The "twist" ending makes no sense at all. There are several gaping wide plot holes. Avoid paying for this book.
