Wells follows the Whitechapel killer to modern San Francisco to prevent further killings. Humanity had not changed at all. Perhaps it was more violent than he had envisioned possible.
Meyers knew a good thing when he saw it. He was right. I recommend both. Sonja Isaacson. Book club notes Initial circle reviews: D: K summed it up best when he said it was "So easy to put down. There were many, many bad decisions by the writer.
S: It started bad and just kept getting worse and worse. JW: It had the potential to be entertaining, but the author kept making really bad decisions.
JM: Some interesting ideas. It was a pretty "easy read," not agonizing. The author seemed to have no grasp of psychology, science fiction, time travel, or females. K: Embarrassed that he picked the book. Very disappointed, especially in the time travel element.
He read up on the history of the book and movie. Apparently there is a sequel. The women all acted strangely, or like male-fantasy stereotype. It was "insta-love" with no believable basis or trauma to base it on. He seemed to have no problem getting anything done, despite all the cultural and technological changes. A very fun read. I was fascinated reading about a man from manage from the viewpoint of ! It was actually very nostalgic.
I find the idea that H. I enjoy stories which speculate that they encountered one another. Shannon Appelcline. Author 25 books followers. Time After Time has a great premise: H. Wells invents a time machine, which is hijacked by Jack the Ripper; he must then travel to San Francisco to stop the killer.
But, the novel never really lives up to that foundation. The idea of a 19th century science-fiction author exploring the world years in his future never gets as much attention as it should, and the cat and mouse game between Wells and Jack is very low key. Wells hits San Francisco. And the setting never recovers from there. Then we end the plot with a big cheat and a technobabble explanation. Maybe the movie was better?
I vaguely recall seeing it decades ago and enjoying it Allison Robeson. This book had a fantastic storyline, and it was very hard at times to put down. I would give it a higher rating, but the author devoted nearly pages on sexual relations. I know some of this was necessary what can you do when Jack the Ripper is involved?
Aside from this, an excellent read. Bob Schnell. Though a popular book when originally published, "Time After Time" did not age well. That is strange considering it is a time travel novel mostly set in The concept is intriguing enough: H.
Wells uses his time machine to track down Jack the Ripper in modern day San Francisco. The problem is with the writing and clumsy descriptions of sex and sexual attitudes. Still enjoyable as a thriller, but I believe in this case that the movie is better. Circa Girl. As far as time travel books go, Time After Time is a lot of fun and slips in some pseudo-science and physics hypotheticals when it has a chance.
Wells is an adorable, bumbling outsider throughout his excursion into and it makes for a lot of hilarious moments like encountering a taxi cab or fast food for the first time.
I also genuinely enjoyed his romantic relationship with modern, working girl Ann, who mistakes his naivety about modern conveniences and culture for British charm. I wanted to roll my eyes when he chuckles to himself at the inward thought of committing evil for evil sake and that he may be Satan himself. The subtlety of his character development was not unlike Mermaid-Man from spongebob when he shrills "Eviiiiiiiiiiiil!
He was either thinking about mass rape and murder or he was committing it. I also had some problems with H. Wells character. His bumbling, good natured foolishness worked for the comedy bits but he was constantly getting off track from his mission and lost in his damn thoughts. Think, think, think Also, the ending was a bit ho-hum.
I wanted something more climatic and a mega happy ending but it was sort of a summary of their lives with very little tone of excitement. Like "well Ann and H. The end". Aside from my bitching, it is worth a read for the comedy and great concept. It also balances a little bit of everything pretty well: romance, science fiction, horror, comedy, suspense, etc.
Mieczyslaw Kasprzyk. I was looking for a book to read on the flight back from Valetta and saw this in the bookshop there. I just HAD to get it. What a pleasant surprise! I always enjoy time travel novels and this one was better than most. Of course, this was made into a movie shortly after it was written in and it remains one of my favorite films from that time period.
The movie pretty much follows the book where H. Wells must follow Jack the Ripper to San Francisco to try to prevent him from continuing his evil crime spree. However, when Wells makes it to , he falls in love with Amy Robbins and must protect her from the diabolical ripper.
And is far from the perceived Utopia that Wells predicted for the future. Overall, very enjoyable. I would recommend both the movie and the book. Alexander also wrote a sequel to this, Jaclyn the Ripper which I also have and plan to read next. Looking forward to it! Quite a fun, quick, and easy read.
We follow a fictional version of H. Jack steals Wells time machine, makes his way to San Francisco and Wells follows suit. Hijinks ensue. It was enjoyable to see a man from the late s react to life in the late s. Much has changed obviously. It was lighthearted aside from murder obviously and sometimes silly; felt a little dated at times given the references and situations though.
Interesting to see where they take it. Richard Tolleson. A Thrilling Adventure! Игра не без изъянов, спору нет, и тем не менее она занимает почетное место в списке игр, которые я без зазрения совести буду рекомендовать всем, кто хочет познакомится с жанром.
Eurogamer Italy. The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a good thriller, which deals with strong and difficult themes. Due to the good writing and successful atmosphere, we recommend giving it a chance. Small issues aside, The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a truly riveting thrill ride.
The story plays out perfectly in the first-person narrative video game medium. Adventure Gamers. On paper, The Suicide of Rachel Foster promises a spooky ghost tale grounded in the drama of a family driven apart. While some of that potential is eventually made good on, the road there is a bit too bland and unengaging to make the whole experience shine as brightly as it should.
Washington Post. Regrettably, the revelations the story builds to are obvious, and the characters are not charismatic enough to transcend the limitations of the plotline.
Riot Pixels. A mediocre melodrama, awkwardly written into a shoddy walking simulator, its few bright ideas are poorly fleshed out and ultimately destroyed with a rubbish ending. See All 42 Critic Reviews. The game as Firewatch.
But about realistic graphics, one big house and his story, which is fully disclosed only at the very end of the game and without any hints earlier. The story is cool, the game has the right amount of creepiness without the cheap frights, but it does feel like a walking simulator.
Unsuccessful attempt to imitate the Edith Finch and firewatch. This game sounded interesting to me so I went in with no idea about it.
You spend the entire game as "Nicky", a character you will not develop any attachment to at all as all you ever see of her is her hands, the gameplay is also brain meltingly boring, to and fro, to and fro, to and fro through the same corridors and rooms with a lot of backtracking amounting to nothing more than a walking simulator.
You can run, but theres no need to do so at all through the entire game. Even the multiple endings are..
