If so, that would bump it up to "excelllent" level.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-7386066717426895262013-07-31T21:07:15.875-05:002013-07-31T21:07:15.875-05:00I know exactly what you mean about missing somethi...I know exactly what you mean about missing something, but not sure what...I loved the characters, I loved the time travel, I loved the cover.

I thought Nick's mix-ups with words and customs, as well as his anachronistic references to contemporary details, were hilarious. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941919404657989208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-66585903144158123882013-07-31T15:56:46.410-05:002013-07-31T15:56:46.410-05:00It's a fun read, Andi!
