A "classic" in the time-travel genre for a reason. Perhaps not the absolute best one, but pretty darned close and handled the time-travel paradoxes wonderfully.

Though it did get a little heavy on the sex stuff, nothing that graphic, but probably not appropriate for under-12 crowd (under-14? depends on the kid (and the parents ;) ))

If you've not read this and like time travel, you MUST read it.
