A good read for all imaginitive students

Maybe I read this book more than 10 times. I can not say I was boring about this book. A boy named, Robert went to many Worlds. But there are not originalitical World. There are past world. He went to cold laundry in the Rushia, Austrailia, etc. And he met many troubles, sad, exiting things! Probably all the student, who likes to imagination will love this book. If you are their parents, try to gift them this book. Maybe you are not go to repent to buy this book. Also this book is very good for their parents, and you can think about, what your son and daughter's thought is. Exactly, this is for adult. There is any bad words, or bad things. So, I thought 10-15years old can read, and if you read this book(If you are their parents or family), then you will 99% exhortation to others.

A good read for all imaginitive students

Maybe I read this book more than 10 times. I cannot say I was bored reading this book. A boy named Robert goes to many Worlds. When Robert rubs his eyes, then he enters another world though a TV screen, camera, or painting. But they are not normal worlds. They are past worlds. He went to a cold Laundromat in Russia, Italian palace, and Australia, too. He must find his way back home. Before he returns home, he meets many troubles, sad events, and exiting things! Probably all the students who like to imagine will love this book. If you are their parent, try to present them this book. Probably you are not going to regret buying this book. Also, this book is a very good one for the parents. You can understand what your son and daughter's thoughts are. There are not any bad words, or bad things. So, I think this book is appropriate for 10~15 year-old children to read, and when you read this book (if you are their parent or family member), then you will 99% recommend Lost In Time to others.

An original, well-crafted time travel story

In Hans Magnus Enzensberger"s Lost in Time, a boy daydreams and sees strange scenes when he rubs his eyes; but one day finds the visions all too real when he lands in the past and finds himself caught in increasingly complex political worlds. Robert covers close to four hundred years of history as he jumps through time in search of the elusive way home. Lost in Time is an original, well-crafted, and totally involving story of time travel with a different tone and twist.
