Commentary Of Books The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success

Hmmmmm. How do you rate a cheesy book with a great message? I almost quit after the first few pages but then after getting to the 1st decision I was hooked. Think Christmas Carol-ish in format (which I happen to hate), there are time travel visitations and eye-rolling dialogue but I think the message overshadows all of that.

As for the historically inaccurate time travel (was Columbus looking for a new trade route or the New World full of possibilites? the author fluctuates between both), I think Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was better done and at least more fun.
