LitPick Review
"Timelock" by David Klass, is a book that fuses both the future and the past together. A boy named Jack is the Prince of Dann in a future world. His parents sent him back in time to our present day with a set of legal guardians, in hope that he could save the futuristic world. There are many sacrifices that the royal family made to save the grim future. But will they be enough? "Timelock" is the third book of the series. If you ask me it was fairly easy to follow, but they did refer to the previous written books on numerous occasions. So if you plan on reading this book, I'd suggest reading the first two books to get the full emotional impact.
Opinion:
Since the book was written in past and present tense the author did divide the book into different parts. Personally I found the reading too choppy in present tense, which was how the majority of the book was written. Also, certain parts were a little too cheesy for me. It was definitely not my favorite book. That being said I have to commend the author for the wonderful fight scenes. These scenes were the only ones that I liked in present tense. The fights had a perfect balance, and werent too bloody-gory, yet I felt involved. The scenes were also vividly captured and to the point.
This book took me over three weeks to read, because I kept putting it down and didn't want to pick it up again. It needed suspense to propel the book forward.
