This book is one of Gary Paulsen's best (in my opinion). I really liked this book a lot. It got a little confusing, but the plot was really good.

I decided to reread this with my ears especially when I learned that one of my favorite narrators performed it. This is one of my go-to books for boys who want fast and funny. That's what it is - fast and funny. Not Paulen's best, but fast and funny.

An extremely short story that was made as a novel. In a way it felt more like a synopsis than the whole story. I found myself wanting to know more about Dorso (and his strange little sister Darling) and his best friend Frank. I also wanted to know more about the "gamesters" and how everything worked.

It was an ok read (fairly quick as it's only 87 pages long!!). I just feel like there was so much that was missing.

A very interesting premise - a game where two people travel through time and space, where one person one person tries cause a change in an historical event and the second person tries to stop him or her. The book is a quick and enjoyable read.

Compared to the other Gary Paulsen books I've read such as the Hatchet series, Time Hackers really let me down. An interesting premise of an era when anyone can see any time in history and learn from the primary source, not what someone else interepreted was crippled by poor characters and even worse dialog. I didn't even bother to finish it.
