About this deal

I really loved this book, it's very sweet but also quite sad at the same time since Tilly's mum died. I particularly liked the part where Tilly met Queen Victoria because Queen Victoria ate so fast and Tilly only managed to eat one macaroon.

Before these time travels, Tilly and her Dad didn’t really talk about her Mum but their journey helps them communicate their feelings and is actually quite emotional. Edmondson attended Pocklington School in Yorkshire from 1968 to 1975 and later went to the University of Manchester to study drama, receiving a 2:1 degree, where he met his future comedy partner Rik Mayall. This little affair," said the Time Traveller, resting his elbows upon the table and pressing his hands together above the apparatus, "is only a model.

Namely the loss of Tilly's mom (and how to deal with that) is also a very big focal point in the book. Do you fancy a romp through time with no consequences or chances of meeting your previous self whilst trying to rescue your dad who is lost somewhere in the list of travels in the machine?

I like the author Adrian Edmondson and if I liked the sound of the next story I would love to read another of his books.

The Medical Man and the Provincial Mayor watched him in profile from the right, the Psychologist from the left.

Tilly and the Time Machine by Adrian Edmondson review

TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND AVOID BEING CHARGED, YOU MUST CANCEL BEFORE THE END OF THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD. I think the author (Adrian Edmonson) really thought about the book and it's really impressive to know so much history. Another 'celebrity' name, but Adrian Edmondson seems like a natural; he doesn't try too hard to be overly funny, or use silly devices to capture attention.I requested and was lucky enough to be gifted a copy of this novel via NetGalley; this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it.
