Actual rating: 3.5 starsThis was pretty cool! I really dug the concept, and the execution was pretty well done.My main gripe with *The Time Traveler's Handbook: Experience History's Greatest Moments* by James Wyllie is that it often throws details at you without really diving deep into any of them, especially when it comes to names. Like, you can list all the important people who were at an event, but it doesn't mean much if you don't explain why I should care they were there! It needed more con...

Utterly delightful. The conceit of this being a travel brochure aimed at time travelers really works, especially with the glossy, magazine-style paper they used. I wasn't keen on every single tour they mentioned, but let's be honest, do you ever love *every* option in a regular cruise or tour brochure? There are some fantastic history trips detailed here, and I honestly wish I could go on one or two myself. Sadly, I'll have to experience them vicariously through this handbook some future time-ho...

Okay, *The Time Traveler's Handbook: Experience History's Greatest Moments* by James Wyllie was a surprisingly enjoyable read. I usually don't get along with books that don't have a specific story or action driving them, and I tend to avoid them because they drag out the reading process. But even though it took me a while to get through, I really loved this one. It definitely lives up to being a handbook; it's packed with all sorts of information, and thanks to James Wyllie, I realized I can act...

Three stars, and I'm being generous. It didn't entirely win me over, even though the concept is genuinely charming. Some of the journeys are truly fascinating, while others left me completely cold.

My son gave me "The Time Traveler's Handbook: Experience History's Greatest Moments" as a gift, and I have to say, he nailed it. It's a fantastic blend of fantasy and fact.

James Wyllie's *The Time Traveler's Handbook: Experience History's Greatest Moments* is like a historical record of different events that happened across many years.
