3.0étoiles sur 5 Not the ultimate time travel story, Avril 22 2004
Par Eric James Stone (Eagle Mountain, UT United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Man Who Folded Himself (Paperback)
I bought this book because I'd heard it was the ultimate time travel story, at least in terms of taking time travel to its logical conclusion.

While well-written, I don't feel it lives up to the hype. Robert Heinlein's short stories "All You Zombies" and "By His Bootstraps" do a better job of taking the logic of the basic concept to its inevitable conclusion.

Gerrold also leaves open a major flaw in the time-travel logic of this novel: the time travel device loops infinitely through time without wearing out. (Merely the friction from being touched would eventually wear it away; look at what happens to old statues that are rubbed for luck.) He is hardly unique in making this mistake (although Heinlein avoided it in both stories mentioned above), and it is not of tremendous significance within the plot. Still, the flaw is important enough to keep this from being as thorough and logical a story as some of its admirers claim.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Time travel as a venue for narcissistic eroticism, Mars 27 2004
Par tvgaz "tvgaz" (Tucson, Arizona USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Man Who Folded Himself (Paperback)
A thoroughly disappointing (and disjointed) enterprise. Each explanation for time-travel paradoxes (or lack of them) was eradicated by a later episode of the main characters' (yes, that's plural) ramblings.

And, concepts that offered genuine intrigue (meeting and interacting with a version of oneself who happens to be the opposite sex; bringing getaway estates wholly constructed to locations that predate the dawn of man) were left to flounder for lack of viable explanations as to how such events might have come to be.

2.0étoiles sur 5 What's up with the sex?, Mars 24 2004
Par Santos Medrano (Phoenix, Arizona United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Man Who Folded Himself (Paperback)
This book had a fascinating premise and some pretty neat twists and concepts. However, it was pretty much ruined by the inclusion of sex, both gay and straight. Now, I have nothing against sex or depictions of it (in either film or literature), but it just felt so wrong here. I expected a science fiction story and instead I got soft core porn.
