Appraise About Books The Map of Time (Trilogía Victoriana #1)

This premise had incredible potential, and the story starts out great. However, it becomes a rather jumbled mess, being too chaotic and fragmented for my tastes. THE MAP OF TIME was a book where I just stopped caring about the characters and where they were headed.

After reading two chapters, 28 pages into the book, I decided to give up. There was no way that I would be able to suffer through the torture for 600+ pages.The novel was set in a Victoria era. It read like a historical fiction, and the language used was very much proper old-style English. First off, I really did not like the way the author wrote these long-winded sentences, describing anything and everything in a flowery descriptive manner that drove me nuts. It took forever for the author to

Rollicking Good Fun!Until I was several chapters into this book I was beginning to wonder if I wanted to continue. At times I groaned while reading, sometimes smiled, and often stopped to ponder certain paragraphs. It was a story of many things; imaginative, different, strange, but yet, soon became compelling enough to finish. When I finally read the last page, I felt I had been thoroughly entertained and pleased to have read such a creative and unique book.

Three stars is me being generous. It was so promising, the cover was attractive, the symmary looked equally (if not more so) promising, but when I started reading I was just so confused. I remember constantly thinks where, what, how, ... it soon stopped being fun. I might like it better if I reread it, but for some reason I doubt it. I am still wondering if it is the writing or me just not being smart enough.

This book was a big disappointment to me. The cover, the synopses, the reviews all had me ready to read a book about the mysteries of time travel. Instead, set in late Victorian era London "The Map of Time" gives readers a bit of a love story, a bit of mystery, a bit of science fiction, even a bit of biography, but it fails to fully develop any of these aspects and left me feeling cheated on all fronts.Palma does a fine job of setting the Victorian stage. Historical fiction lovers will gobble up

Time travel! Jack the Ripper! Automatons! What's not to love?!? Well, as it turns out, almost everything.I know everyone else here is raving about it, but I could barely stomach The Map of Time; it took every ounce of stick-to-it-iveness I could muster to get through this convoluted, interminable literary maze. WHERE, I ask you, was the EDITOR in this hot mess? There is the kernal of a potentially good story here, had about 2/3 of the fat been excised. The only way it could have been more

Felix Palma is a fairly talented writer of prose, but not a talented storyteller. Not in the least. Although the writing is smooth and velvety, the book is actually a jumble of confused plot lines mixed up in a hundred different stories that do nothing to capture the imagination or tie up the frayed ends. I'm not a fan of time-travel stories. I think they're terrifically lazy. They seem to me to be so popular because everyone fantasizes about traveling through time- mostly in some selfish way
