Description
Max has been a freelance reporter dodging bullets in Latin America, a small-time newspaper editor who delights in infuriating his publisher and, finally, a flack for a communications company -- the elephant's graveyard for journalists. But none of this compares with the terrors of assisted living, so instead Max risks everything on something he's kept secret until recently: his increasingly unreliable ability to travel in time. In turn laugh-out-loud and poignant, replete with dark humour, sarcasm, wise-cracking characters and satire, this debut novel is going to ring some bells and stir some pots.

I cant believe this is a debut! It is so well written and really original. Max, I love you.. you are romantic, every woman's dreamboat.. And really, with your sense of humor and adventure you should be every guys dreamboat too. I loved this book. It took me a while to get through but i didn't mind taking it slow and savoring Max's story.
