This book is definitively for young adults and even I enjoyed reading it. My only problem was I just could not pronounce the names of some of the characters in the book--but you can't go by me--some of the names in Harry Potter got me too. I think only kids can get these names! As in any good book the characters are well defined--both the good ones and the bad. Although you might think by the title of this book that there is a lot of time travel--not so much. It is more about Time Travelers themselves.
There are really nice illustrations throughout the book which give you an idea of what each Time Traveler looks like--The only reason I am going to tell parents to read this before handing it over is there are a couple of pages that describe in detail the methods used in olden times to interrogate people and they are not pretty!

This sounds like a pretty interesting read. I like young adult books - This will have to be one I check out more.
This sounds like my kind of book, I'm loving the antique look of the cover. I had to laugh about not being able to pronounce the names. Some book character names are really out there aren't they? :)
That sounds like a book I'd love. I am going to get a copy to read at the beach this summer.
I really enjoy young adult books and this sounds like a great read! I'll have to pick it up the next time I'm out.
You always have the most interesting books. I enjoy reading your reviews.
Wouldn't that be the life if we could really be a Time Traveler? It would be very interesting to say the least.
This sounds like an interesting book. Even though it is not exactly my cup of tea then I might read it.
This sounds interesting and something kids would like for sure. A little Back to the Future flavor in it. I would love to be a Time Traveler if just for a day.
I love reading YA books. They read so quickly and are usually really fun. When names are too hard though - it does get annoying.
I've never had a book on time travel and this sounds like a very interesting story! My imagination will be totally at work here and I would love that!
This sounds like an interesting read indeed with the time travelers along with the mystery. My nephew would probably love this one. I will have to share it with my sister. Thanks for sharing.
These are interesting books. My niece love to read book like this, I will get this for her.
This one sounds awfully good to me! I'm glad you mentioned about the interrogation part of the book though.
I've been reading a lot of YA lately, and this one sounds pretty intriguing. I'll have to add it to my reading list! Thanks for the great review!
Oh wow -- this sounds like a great book. I'm adding it to my reading list. The cover is very pretty also.
Looks like a pretty fun read! My husband is super into time travel so this would be a good one for him. Thanks for the review!
I haven't read a young adult book for a while. This one sounds interesting, but not sure about the interrogation methods part.
It doesn't sound like a book I would read. But thanks for the review
The Dining and Social Club for Time Travellers sounds like a really interesting book! I love young adult books, so I'm sure I would enjoy this one.
Time Travelers - my teenager would be intrigued by this book. Thanks for sharing will have to look into this
I love the cover and the title is very intriguing. Thanks for the disclaimer for parents. Did you find the description was necessary and added to the story, or could be removed without changing anything crucial?
I laughed about the Harry Potter names. Some of those get to me too. I'd get this book for my teen. I bet she's love it! I might too... I like to read all kinds of genres, including YA
Sounds intriguing i get lost easily if I can not pronounce the character's names.
I wish I had more time to read. This sounds like a really great book to dive into.
