Reviews

A fascinating man . . . mesmerizing
*Judy Finnigan, Daily Express*

This book makes for absorbing reading.
*Telegraph*

A hugely readable book, a fascinating subject and a delightful story.

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.
*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.
