Summary: ISAMOV WROTE THIS IN 1955 AND I WAS EXPECTING
Comment: it to be a little rocky, especially as far as his writing of male/female relationships. But this book far surpassed my expectations and the last 20 pages or so completely surprised me despite my having read and viewed lots of science fiction over the years. I have never been able to get through Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, but this I would recommend to anyone who likes science fiction dealing with time travel.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent synthesis of plot and character,
Comment: "The End of Eternity" was one of the first sci-fi books I ever read. In fact, I remember checking it from the library a few days after seeing "The Time Machine". I was (and am) such a fan of time travel tales. Although Asimov has won kudos for his volumnious works over the years, I've always found him somewhat less than appealing. It seems the plot is always for better than the other elements and the romance is, well, unromantic. His characters are often sterile - more portrait than flesh and blood.
But this novel is something different - a work in which the story, characters and action move along to a surprising ending. The pace of the tale is perfection itself, not too rushed or caught up in non-essential happenings. The romance is, as usual, almost chaste in its presentation but surprisingly deep. Rereading it after all these years still brings pleasure even if it is a tad dated.
All the paradoxes and what-ifs of time travel are present (the idea of "self-protection" from time changes while in the machine is a stroke of genius). The various twists and turns make for an enjoyable read. Do yourself a favor and get the book.
Rating: 5
