Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen – Review by Jana Lewis

Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I selected this book because of the cover, which is probably one of the most amazing covers I’ve seen. I was also intrigued because it takes place near my home town, so several of the places mentioned were familiar to me, which was exciting as a reader. I found the science behind the attempts to travel through time interesting – more realistic than other instances of it in old movies, etc., though I will not pretend to understand it all! The threat of changing history and ruining the future is always a concern, but realizing it would change in a different path (kind of like a parallel universe, I guess you could say) seems to make it easier to live with oneself knowing you are making drastic changes to the future. Sam’s intent to change history to save his heritage is easy to understand. How amazing it would be to live a life as if you had made a different decision, without actually changing your existing life. Or does it?
