Probably the most interesting thing about this book was the twist at the end. I found all of the main characters annoying and, in some cases, downright unlikable. At times it was difficult to follow the explanations given by one of the main characters about how things happened so I just gave up. I love sci-fi and action adventure and almost always have no trouble suspending common sense and reality and just going with the flow of a book. Not so here. I really wanted to like this book but I just didn't.

My first read of John Varley, super book! Made me feel time travel is possible and I never saw the twist coming at the end! Terrific read!
This was a fast, easy, entertaining read, but I found the characters unlikeable and the violence a bit too much for my taste.
My favorite Varley. Not so wordy as other novels. great story, interestig characters, plot keeps you reading.

John Varley has long been my favorite sci-fi author. He manages to include lots of real science with zany scenarios and great character development. This book is no exception. Time travel, pre-historic critters, egomanical rich guy, really gifted scientist -- everything you need to a great romp through Varley's world.
I really enjoyed this book & it has a cool twist to the end.

Good story with an ending I didn't expect.

An light read, with fairly accurate scientific background (not including the time travel of course).

Well told tale of time travel with interesting characters
Great book. Varley is a great writer and continues to surprise. The book took off in directions I didn't expect but it was fantastic.
