TimeRiders (TimeRiders #1)
Look, if you want books featuring in-depth descriptions of how time travel works, this isn't the book for you. If instead you want a series in which the time travel is basically "Look, it's a thing, just go with it" and in which teenagers are effectively the time police, then this will fit the bill nicely. It's definitely at the younger end of YA, and frankly it was fairly predictable at times. But it was also a lot of fun and a pretty fun concept from start to finish. And to be perfectly
I was reading this one for a group read, but since I had time to finish it today instead of dumbly waiting for tomorrow to roll in, well...I'm not sure if it should be a 1* or 2* for me. Let's say 2, for the Terminator shout-outs, which made me smile (I watched T1 and T2 when I was in middle school, and I still have fond memories of those), for the couple of good things I liked, and because I didn't actually want to throw the book through the window.

First Look: I loved the premise of this, right from the first time I read the back cover. I just had to buy it. I'm rather fond of time travel stories. I hoped this one would follow through. This might be a shorter review, since I've gotten behind again. Setting: The historical aspects of this were cool. Of course, setting your first scene in the sinking Titanic is always a fantastic idea. The other settings were interesting, too. The author definitely did a nice job making the altered history
Action-packed, but plot could have been tighter and pace a little faster. Overall, pretty good.
3.5 StarsThis is an enjoyable first book in a neat time traveling young adult series. Time Riders is an easy read that will have you flying through the pages. The cast is a bunch of young likables that we simply need to know more about.The premise is cool...a secret agency plucks our heroes out of time moments before their deaths. They are all chosen for their unique talents and gifts, wether that is being the analytical one, the technical one, or the one that can formulate tactics and plans.The
Awesome read! Hard to put down. Can't wait to read the next book in the series. Fortunately there will be NINE books!!!!!Read my full review over at Edi's Book Lighthouse
