I actually found myself giggling and laughing out loud, earning me a few strange looks. Furthermore, I thoroughly enjoyed the story as a whole, the mishaps, the characters, and the food involved in the whole journey. You sort of just get drawn in without realizing it. One minute you’re meeting Eddie and the next you’re traveling through time, learning about the future, and absolutely falling in love with the quirky cast of this novel. As a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide I can confirm that if you enjoy that, you’ll enjoy this! Back to You by Steve Bates This story starts out with Eddie and he's hiding out in a food truck, no good food for him though. We learn he's in an AI equipped car and she warns him not to go outside. There's a war out there from his vantage point. The vehicle is not his but he persuades the AI to turn the car into a 1974 pinto, I had one similar and nobody would ever steal it. He's late for work and tells his boss of a new story line. He takes him for a ride in the vehicle and they select a time frame. The car travels in time, forward and backward. There are others that join Eddie and they tape stories of inventions and other events. It's really educational then they bring characters in from Friends and other music stars. Gets way out of hand and comical at times. Chris was the food truck operator and he does get back to the vehicle and now there are duplicates of characters. At some point some get left behind with hopes of them returning to get them. Kim K and so many others make appearances. Ending is kind of open so another book in teh series could be easily added. Lots of high tech, scientific, physics, space and so many other beyond this world things keep you busy keep them all straight. Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Searching for history's greatest pastrami on rye, Chris arrives from 1,000 years in the future and hides his time machine in an alley. But Eddie sees through the disguise, takes an unexpected ride, and demonstrates it to his boss at a failing cable TV network. Through a series of adventures, the time machine becomes damaged, friends become stranded, and history gets changed in many ways-some dangerous, all humorous. Two romances--one quite unconventional-blossom along the way. Back to You is a hilarious science fiction romp in the tradition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

There were many entertaining parts of the novel, with its tongue-in-cheek commentary on Kim Kardashian, Gilligan’s Island, Friends (tv series), David Letterman, and more.
My favorite part of the book was the part about WWIII being caused by an argument over The Oxford Comma.
While science fiction is not my thing, there were enough funny parts to keep it interesting for me to continue reading. Science fiction fans would probably enjoy this a lot. ( )
