This book is weird and I don't get it. I do get it slightly better than when I read it as a kid though, which is enough to appreciate the complexity of the story and the historical bits.

Pretty good, I really like the time travel aspect. I've always loved stories that have this kind of interconnected non-linear time travel narratives. That being said, I do miss Calvin as a character, I feel like more could have been done with him in this and the previous books.
