Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen – Review by Kerry Carr
Borrowed Time by Lane Cohen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an interesting read. The author is new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. I loved the whole concept of time travel and the authors attention to history detail really made this story come alive for me.
I also like how the author shows the story from two different peoples perspectives. We have the teacher who wants to travel back in time to stop a love affair he had from ending in heartbreak. That is his main reason for creating the time machine and that’s all he cares about.
The student on the other hand has a more worth cause. He wants to travel back in time to stop the killing of the Indigenous people. But what effects will their time travel have on the current time?
This book is a interesting read, full of adventure and historical knowledge. It is also a good example of how different people would treat a time machine in different ways, some for their own ends and others to help people in need.
I really enjoyed this book and getting caught up in their journeys.
