"A fascinating man ... mesmerizing" Judy Finnigan, Daily Express "This book makes for absorbing reading." -- Alexander Waugh Telegraph "A hugely readable book, a fascinating subject and a delightful story." www.popularscience.co.uk "Mallett never comes off as a puffy-chested smarty-pants. His delivery is humble, his voice enthusiastic, his optimism contagious. For anyone, but especially for the aspiring scientist, Time Traveler is a worthwhile and surprisingly entertaining read." -- Julie Mayeda San Francisco Chronicle "... Mallett is such a great teacher that the complex ideas that shape modern physics aren't so scary under the professor's easy guidance ... strange, interesting and ultimately touching memoir." -- Bruce Lieberman San Diego Union Tribune
