Relive happy moments? Fix your mistakes? This story offers a different and interesting twist on the idea of time travel. Good, light-hearted read. Perfect for a long flight or a rainy Saturday morning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb! *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2017* To be honest, I have no idea how I found this book. I remember being bored, waiting for another release from one of my favored authors and somehow came across this recommendation. I’m not a fan of time travel – at all – but the synopsis intrigued me enough to download a sample. The download was enjoyable enough for me to purchase the book, and I am very glad I did.I am a product of the 50’s and 60’s – that was my youth – and Mr. Merritt nailed the feeling of the period. It was well done enough that I was reminiscing of my own youth as I read this one. His scenes kept a smile on my face for most of the book describing that period. Most, because there were also dark sides back then, and the author nailed those, as well.His characters, especially the kids, were superbly created, as was their dialog. Far too often authors writing children characters lapse into adult thought patterns and speech. It could have happened here, with a logical justification in one case, but it was truly a minimal impact, except when needed. Great job there! Too much science during the adult period for me, but I skipped much of that. I’m not one who needs to know why a whistle makes noise. It makes noise & I’m good with that.I found the writing exceptional. Some very minor editing errors through the book, but nothing that impaired my reading.If I have a gripe at all, it’s the same gripe I have with any 1st person point of view. I don’t like a 1st person narrative for a host of reasons. 1) I don’t want to be the main character. 2) The main character thinks, speaks and behaves in ways I would not. 3) It doesn’t matter who the author is – I always find the 1st person MC lacks the depth of every other character. That happens in this book, as well. There were certainly times when I could not relate to, or understand the MC. Behavior or action, which should have been logical, were absent. It was enough to throw me off kilter during the reading and, for me, detracted from what is a terrific read.I concur with some other reviewers – Mr. Merritt tends to end his books rather abruptly. In the case of this book I was left confused as to what happened with 3 of the characters. I think maybe I know, but I don’t truly understand why that may have been the case. A few more sentences would have clarified things, I think.Overall, this book was a wonderful experience for me. It took me right out of my daily world and put me in a happy place. THAT is the mark of a truly wonderful story experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! Great, all-round fiction. After a few chapters, couldn't put it down. Aced time-line theory. *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2019* Besides being a great, well-rounded read, it presents one of the best theories of alternative time-lines I've read or seen anywhere, in fact or in fiction. As far as I am concerned, it suggests, convincingly, that Timeline (the book) got it wrong, all wrong, as did H. G. Wells' The Time Machine. A slight spoiler: The theory is that cause and effect take place and propagate at the rate of one second per second. Therefore, there can be no paradoxes. The old time-line dissipates and the new time-line takes effect at that rate. To me, it was a stroke of genius. Whether the author was inspired, or it's something from current science theory, the theory is so logical, and it removes all objections to a theory of changing the past, that it is just feels perfect. Aa far as I'm concerned, all other time-theory sci-fi stories that I have been exposed to have gotten it completely wrong. Just as the speed of light limits the maximum speed one can travel, this theory suggests a logical limit to how fast a change in the past can move forward into the future. To observers fixed in both (all) time-lines, nothing appears to change.Even though time travel and alternate time-line theory are my favorite fiction topics, the story is far more than that. The ups and downs of the main character's struggles stand on their own and make an engrossing story.Anyone who thinks it went down-hill at the end, didn't understand the brilliant ideas being presented. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/42451779-a-gift-of-time](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/42451779-a-gift-of-time) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
