If I’d reviewed the book right then, it would have pitched between a confused “WTF was that?” and a disappointed “How could he do that to me?”įortunately, I didn’t have time to write anything right away because, as the days passed, I couldn’t get the book out of my head and I started to understand what Ben Elton had really done. I was so surprised that, as I finished the book, I found myself feeling angry at Ben Elton for having broken the implicit contract between writer and reader about the type of experience I’d signed up for. What I got was initially a lot of fun but finally became something brutal, depressing, and horribly plausible. I bought “Time And Time Again” because Ben Elton wrote it and because the cover art (unlike the title) is original and intriguing.
