BOOKLIST -- While travelingthrough time, Ollie accidentally starts a chain of events that threatens tounravel all of existence. Now his team of time travelers, composed of his jadedex-girlfriend, a killer robot with the mentality of a toddler, and a twistednineteenth-century inventor, have to undo the complex series of paradoxes theyhave set into motion. Time Share moves ridiculously fast, and there's littleexposition along the way, so occasionally it's tough to keep up and understandwhat's going on. That said, the pace of the piece is made up for with theplethora of crazy settings and hilarious characters, which are easily the book'sgreatest strengths. This is genuinely funny stuff, packed with allusions andspoofs of nearly every sf staple, while clever one-liners and lewd jokes fillevery page. Much like the action, the humor never lets up for a second. McDaid'sdated character design and faded color imbues the work with a nostalgic, SilverAge comics vibe. A crazy ride, but one definitely worthtaking.
