Acquire Wasnt Tomorrow Wonderful Authored By John Stilwell Rendered As Publication

received a free copy of this book from the Goodreads First Reads program in exchange for an honest review.


It's a fun little time travel book, It's well written, decently thought out, and has a reasonable theoretical basis, I will be looking for more books by Mr, Stillwell.

The short stories are set in a nearish future, where gene splicing is cheap enough that a middle class single man can have a vegetarian pygmy T.
rex as a pet and the first thought when one sees a girl with cat's eyes is genetic engineering, not contact lenses.
Other than that, technology seems to be at a reasonable 'dayaftertomorrow' level, It's in this world that the email to/from the future technology is injected, Most of the book is more vignette than story, but it's a lovely window into an intriguing world, I won this on a Goodreads giveaway, For that, I am thankful, However, I have to agree with some of the previous reviews in that it was an interesting concept but the writing was terrible.
In some places it was so bad that you could not infer what was meant, A simple spell check in Word would have identifiedof the spelling errors,

I hope the author will view this as version as a draft, further vetting the story and correct all the spelling/grammatical errors as there truly is potential here.
I won this in a first reads giveaway, It deals with an interesting concept, communication from the future, from several different angles, Fun stories, but the last one got a little to technical for me, I first have to say that I am so thankful and happy to have gotten this book free in a Goodreads Giveaway!

It was really well written with a very awesome premise.
. . being able to email one month into the past or the future,

I just wish it was one story and not three really short stories, This author is really talented and creative and I really loved the writing here, I just wish it was longer and there was more of it : What if suddenly, everybody in the world had access to a limited form of time travel What if they could send an email to themselves exactly one month into the future or one month into the past How would it change society It would certainly cause trouble.
This is a collections of three short stories, The first is about the average person's experience once handed the ability to talk across time, If you've read the book, "The Puppy of Doom," you'll recognize the character Albert, The second story is about a petty crook, While in the third, the government has to come to grips with the unwelcome surprise, I won this book from Goodreads,
Wasnt Tomorrow

Wonderful is a really clever idea done pretty well, In three short stories, Stilwell tells the tale of a new internet service that lets you send an email one month into the future or past.
There are rules, like you cant send back farther than the day the machine exists and the like,
Over all, the idea and execution is done well, The only problems i found was with the editing and proofing, there were a lot of typos, including spelling errors, using the wrong word, or lack of punctuation, I wont fault the author for some other persons mistake, It didnt take much away from the story, which is very easy to get into, The writing style isnt the best, very short and simple, but still enjoyable, Even though there is some technical talk, the author dosnt go crazy and its easy to follow,
A quick, fun, interesting read, i definitely recommend this book, I won a free copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway which by the way arrived very quickly so thanks!

I wanted to give this book at least, two.
I really did. The concept behind the book is absolutely fascinating and I thought that these three stories were a pretty novel exploration of what people would really do if we could communicate to ourselves in the past or future.
Some parts were even quite funny or exciting,

The problem was that this book very badly needed an editor, There were typos, misspellings, and/or grammatical errors on virtually every one of the less thanpages in this collection of short stories.
Also, I realized about halfway through that there appear to be two spaces between each sentence which bothered me quite a bit.
And lastly, the writing style, while it had occasional turns of phrase that were quite nice, was generally quite flat with very short sentences.


I feel bad giving this only one star, since I really did like the idea behind these stories and what the author was trying to do with it, but the writing errors in particular were very distracting and made this book somewhat difficult to read.
