Come Again by Robert Webb
3.0


The first two thirds of this book were solidly written and very funny, you can completely hear Webb’s humour coming through. I was completely invested in the characters and interested to see how the plot developed.⁣

It took a small twist I was not expecting but could have got on board with had the end been written right but then things just went nuts!! It’s was like the author though ‘this is too much romance I need to add some action so let’s throw a karate chop, a car chase and the M15 in there, that should even things out’⁣

I wouldn’t say I normally pickup books with time travel in then but this is actually the third one I have read this year and I do actually enjoy it as an element - even if I can’t always get my head around it. It was well written in this book up until the last two pages and then was just ridiculous! ⁣

At one point in the book Webb describes what a reader needs from a book to be able to get on board, it’s a perfect description which means he knows what we, as readers, need and yet, in my opinion, completely disregarded it.⁣

Overall really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book but felt let down by the ending, it wasn’t a bad ending it just didn’t match the start.⁣
