The Returners

good, solid ya novel.

original in comparison to many. decent amount of challenging vocabulary and not too much dumbing down of complex ideas. good for 9-11 i'd say.

there are holes of course, but the author poses some interesting questions about free will, human perception of time, and even maybe a little metaphorical demonstration of some history theory. or maybe not, but i think i could make a decent case for it.

anywho, it was totally worth a couple of hours.

amendment: there's fun little bit self-referential cake here. there is a part in the book where the protag. researchers “returners,” and when you search for it on goodreads you get many of the same topics that he gets in the book. it's silly easy, and yet kinda delightful.
