I like the fact that the main character has 9000 additional years of knowledge. That's a very interesting premise. I also enjoyed that you mentioned that the author's descriptions of the scenery were very vivid. I'm not sure this is a read for me though, as the hard science is not my cup of tea. Great review!

This book certainly sounds interesting. Even from the description, I find myself a bit confused as to where the plot is trying to go. I guess I'll just have to read it in order to understand! (Too bad about the poor French,though!)

Thanks for your review. I read the sample, which I enjoyed, but it's good to have a heads up about what is coming later in the book. I'm really interested in the time travel aspect so I may brave the bad French and sex scenes and give this one a read.

Thank you the review. While this book does not sound like one I'd prefer to read, the plot itself does sound interesting. The graphic sexual encounters are off putting enough, but to add the lack of research and/or editing of the French language makes the book that much more undesirable for me.

Very insightful review. Since Spanish is my first language I totally understand how it feels to see a language you know poorly written into a story. The premise seems awesome though.

Nice and very detailed review, personally futuristic tales aren't for me, I always over read every word and make a big deal about every code which gives one a hard time to actually enjoy the book.

I usually like futuristic books like this but for some reason, I don't think I will enjoy reading this one. The review on the other is very well done!

I might find 30th Century: Escape an interesting read because of its thought-provoking futuristic theme. However, the fact that the book's arc is lost during a part of the story is a put-off. Overall, sounds like a fun read. Thanks for the honest review!

Your voice resonates very clearly throughout the review. Great job! Based on your review not sure if its a good fit for me to truly enjoy. I love sci-fi but I need more than strong settings, and I'm not sure how I feel about the nude illustrations... Thanks for the review!

Interesting... Nice review, thanks for that! Time travel stories I'm not fond of. Like at all. And to be honest this book's sample and your summary really triggered all the things I usually avoid reading about. But I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^^

Thank you for your review! I often struggle with books that seem to have no direction. I am however, interested by what it's about and might give it a try!

I must really appreciate you for this exquisite review, but personally, I don't think I would have been able to read this book. It seems very difficult to understand for me and I like books that are plain and easy to understand. Of a truth, it's a thought-provoking book but I would have a hard time trying to place all the era in which it was written in my mouth
