In the beginning of this book there is a man having a dinner party. When he walks in his clothing is tattered and he has some cuts. Turns out this man had just time traveled. Many stories talk about time travel but I think it is interesting how this book portrays the journey to time travel. The main characters in other stories who time travel make it to the desired time or even the undesired time usually unscathed and without much difficulty. In this story, it really took a lot out of the main character to time travel. This book though was literary so I read about 60 pages but decided to switch to another book.
The book I switched to is called Population: 485 Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time by Michael Perry. After reading the first sentence I had a feeling this would be a great book. Usually the beginnings of books are boring and take a while to get you interested in the story. The author used a lot of imagry and colorful adjectives in the first paragraph alone. So much in fact, that I went and reread it two more times just to make sure I caught all of it. In the first few pages the title of the book is already making its self known. The author tells how everyone was kneeling around a girl who was hurt and yelling for an ambulance while she was about to die. I'm excited to see where this book leads!
