I bought The Time Bubble as I'd enjoyed My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday by Jason Ayres. The Time Bubble certainly kept me turning the pages, although I didn't find it as intriguing as My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday. But at the end of the story, it made me ponder on the implications of time doubling up every time a person passed through the time bubble. I wondered if Peter ever needed to eat, drink or even answer a call of nature? It was rather mind boggling and I'm tempted to buy the second book in the...

I’ve read quite a few time travel stories, and this author definitely had a fresh take on the subject that was quite delightful. A time bubble is discovered in a newly excavated tunnel. Anyone who walks through it unwittingly is automatically pushed forward in time. Just how far in time they’re advanced doubles each time someone enters the time bubble. Because the initial leaps forward in time are but seconds, then minutes, then hours, our heroes have time to figure out what to make of this disc...

Two teenage boys stumble across something unusual—something they can't control. When a friend goes missing, they're unable to keep their secret any longer and are forced to confide in adults. The Time Bubble is a great book with an unusual plot. The workings of the bubble intrigued me and I enjoyed the detail the author put into the jump times. Very nicely done.It was a little slow in the beginning, but interesting enough to keep me reading. Once the story picked up, it was fantastic!The ending ...

2.5 stars rounded up!I'm afraid I didn't finish this book and gave up after reaching the 40% mark. I found it so boring, with its main characters being adolescent loved upped teenagers, bored coppers and a former 'C' rated celebratory with a drink problem. The story began in a promising way with two teenagers discovering a "time portal" in a newly constructed pedestrian underpass. An original concept and one that was much appreciated by many readers, judging by the number of 5 star ratings but, ...

Not really fair to rate this as I read so little of it.

I just couldn’t bring myself to venture beyond the first dozen pages.

Not for me.

Truly different

Loved the story. As a big fan of time travel tales I enjoyed this one. The delivery of the story, however was a little more "simplistic" than I am used to, hence the 4 stars instead of 5 . A few "loose ends" that the author fails to clarify leaves the reader scratching their head, but that being said it is a good story and realizing this is the author's first book, I believe, I would definitely recommend for " light" reading.

Interesting premise and I don’t wish to be unkind, but I found the writing style quite amateurish.

What makes me give 5 stars to a book? Because on the surface, this is another amateur effort at a time travel story, with all the attendant grammatical hiccups that plague self-published authors.And yet it's more, because despite giving average ratings to other works by Ayres, this somehow got under my skin and kept me compelled. So yes, it could do with a proofread (not as badly as some, by a long way). yes, it's been done before. yes, it's all tied up and neatly finished, so who can say where ...

Waste of time

No proper plot and babyish language . Read it in a day only because I wanted to get it over and done with

Another fun book from Jason Ayres. A YA book with a fair amount of action and lively characters. Even though this is his first fiction entry, I felt at times his style and quality was similar to Robert J. Sawyer. I would have liked the book to be longer (he should consider writing books in the 300+ page length). I look forward to reading the other two books in the series.
