Well, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe sure took me by surprise. I was expecting something a bit silly, especially after the first few pages, but this was probably the most touching book I've read in a while. Sure it is about a time travel machine repairman that gets stuck in a time loop but really it is about re-examining your childhood relationship with your parents through the lense of adulthood and seeing how their failures and successes impacted their lives. I see on Goodreads that opinion on this book is quite split. Ah- those are the best books! Highly recommended. Maybe you'll love it, or maybe hate it. A.
