The writing style is so energetic and enthusiastic that it just rolls right over some of the rules of grammar that might otherwise have slowed it down. It reminded me of the quote about Gladstone being 'inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity'. The thing is, it works. The same way that spinning a plate on a stick works - energy stops it from falling but you're always waiting for it to crash.
The plot is a dizzying ride that manages to balance on the edge of being too chaotic to follow. This is a story for readers who are well-versed in time travel stories. Much of the humour comes from our eighteen-year-old heroine constantly referencing famous time travel plots and Science Fiction tropes as she tries to figure out what's going on and who she should believe.
The reader is kept off balance by the fast pace, some very unlikely events and a self-declared time traveler from the future who speaks English in a way that suggests he was raised by stern grammarians with a predilection for polysyllabic verbosity. It's all great fun, until people start dying.
A major feature of this book is that it had a very surprising twist before the end. I won't say what it was but I liked it, It made me rethink everything I thought I knew but didn't leave me feeling cheated.
'Anachronism' is original and brave and occasionally a little ragged at the edges but its energy more than makes up for that.… (altro)
