Went on a bender from a really good read to a really strange one very quickly. ( )

A Rollercoaster Read

I approached this trilogy in an unusual manner because I assumed the third book was the first when I picked it up. Upon beginning the reading, I came to realize my error, but not owning the first book to the trilogy, I chose to go ahead and read through the one I did own. And it turned out that I highly enjoyed the third book enough to make me eagerly purchase the first. Sadly, the first didn't impress me as much as the final book which I unwittingly purchased initially and read. And if you have followed the backwards journey I took to come to know the ending before the beginning, then you will probably do just fine grasping the trail of logic and events that were spun to create this seriously-imaginative adventure that may or may not have happened in the end. I suppose I should now go read the second book since the filling is all I have left to taste. ( )

Londres, 1896. Innumerables inventos hacen creer al hombre que la ciencia es capaz de conseguir lo imposible, como demuestra la aparición de la empresa de Viajes Temporales Murray, que abre sus puertas dispuesta a hacer realidad el sueño más codiciado de la humanidad: viajar en el tiempo, un anhelo que el escritor H.G. Wells había despertado un año antes con su novela La máquina del tiempo. De repente, el hombre del siglo XIX tiene la posibilidad de viajar al año 2000, como hace Claire Haggerty, quien vivirá una historia de amor a través del tiempo con un hombre del futuro. Pero no todos desean ver el mañana. Andrew Harrington pretende viajar al pasado, a 1888, para salvar a su amada de las garras de Jack el Destripador. Y el propio H.G. Wells sufrirá los riesgos de los viajes temporales cuando un misterioso viajero llegue a su época con la intención de asesinarlo y arrebatarle la autoría de una novela, obligándolo a emprender una desesperada huida a través de los siglos. Pero, ¿qué ocurre si cambiamos el pasado? ¿Puede reescribirse la Historia?

After nearly two months of trying to read this book I have thrown in the towel. Way to wordy and slow moving. I like the tie in to H. G. Wells and the theme of time travel but the attempt at archaic language and structure along with 609 pages was more than enough. I completed the first of three stories this one about Andrew Harrington.

This book tried very hard to be great, but to me, it was just annoying. There was too much explaining and not enough cohesion. Some ideas had potential, but were then abandoned just as I was getting interested. It might have been better as a trilogy. ( )

Though the novel occasionally moves slowly, there is so much going on that one is almost grateful for being able to take a breath, before being whisked back into the adventure. And that is what The Map of Time truly is, despite its steampunkish inclinations, and a bit of masquerading as literary science fiction: a rollicking good adventure yarn that, with a nudge and a wink and a bit of sleight of hand, is sure to leave delight in its wake and a smile on one’s face. And that, Dear Reader, is really all one can ask for.
 
Palma wanders in and out of genres—is his book science fiction? literary fiction? fantasy? Whatever the answer, it’s great fun to read, particularly for those with a bent for counterfactual history.

Andrew Harrington would have gladly died several times over if that meant not having to choose just one piston from among his father's vast collection in the living room cabinet.
