My Review
No
Time to Say Goodbye is a short novella about a man named Dennis who
starts moving forward into the future against his will, and he has no
idea why it's happening. Doctors can't find anything wrong with him. His
wife seems distraught. Can Dennis figure out why he's moving forward
before it's too late?
I feel like No Time to Say Goodbye had a really great premise. It just sort of fell a little flat for me, only because it was so short. I wanted more! I really would have liked to have seen this story fleshed out, because it had serious potential to be a fantastic time travel novel.
I did enjoy it, and I felt like the plot, while not as developed or elaborate as I would have liked, moved along at a decent pace. It was an easy to read story, and I did feel bad for Dennis. His life was royally screwed up because of the time travel.
Overall, No Time to Say Goodbye isn't a bad story. I just wanted more. Lots more! 3.5 stars.
