TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow

Okay so I’m going to talk about the 1st novel of the « TimeRiders » series, novels written by Alex Scarrow : at that time, there are 9 books and the 9th is maybe the last but I am not sure about it. I read this book for the first time when I was a little teenager and to read books with an average of 400-600 pages was actually a big challenge for me. I always wondered if the story pleases me enough that I would have the strength and desire to finish it… Yeah, you know, when we are kids, we ask ourselves so many unnecessary questions ! So, you guess that the book pleased me since I am now talking about it.

It’s the story of 3 teenagers who are recruited, just before dying, by a mysterious organization named “TimeRiders”. Their mission ? Save the world Prevent (bad) people from the future to change our past (and our future too, yeah time travel is something very complicated ;)).

If you like science-fiction and time travels so this book is made for you ! This book is also interesting because the bad guys are not really bad guys, they doesn’t fit the usual characteristics of the diabolic humans who want to kill everybody or rule the world : they just have problems what push them to act like this and their reasons are understandable for the reader. Each chapter gives you the desire to read the next chapter (that’s really important when you don’t like reading a lot). If I have to find something wrong in this book, I would maybe choose the description which is too present in the narration but that’s only a detail. If you like the history, it could be a good book for you too because there are many references to bookmarks of the past and the heroes have to travel during World War II to complete their mission… I won’t say more and I recommend this book !
