For a moment when I started this I thought I'd come in in the middle of the series, but that cleared up very quickly and this rollicking story was off. Funny, touching, well thought out and very smart, this story has it all.
I love that each time Bob goes forward he is jumping to a different timeline, depending on what he's been doing in the past. It's very, very clever, and it adds a real thrill, since the reader can trace the differences (and figure out who the girlfriend is, if they're paying attention!) Little touches like the nanobots keep things fresh and interesting.
There is one sequence that might be upsetting for children, so be aware of that. It reminded me a bit of one of Roald Dahl's short stories! It's not too long though, so just keep an eye out for it.
This is a fantastic read that I think children, and adults, will really enjoy. Bravo.
