I'm convinced that Mil has written the below 5 * reviews... - By: Julia, 31 Jul 2008 
...because this is in no way a 5 * read! I absolutely loved ' A Certain Chemistry ' & it is up there in my top 10. This, however, was a struggle to get through. The premise is great. Mil is also extremely amusing & has an exceptional way with words. However, the characters were underdeveloped, the constant rambling ' trying to be clever ' thoughts became tiresome & I never fully ' got ' it , in the end.
A shame indeed.
Best since Things My Girlfriend and I ... - By: J. Miles, 17 Jul 2008 
Like alll Mil Millington's books, this is a book about relationships & friendships, embedded within a story about something different. This story, as you will have read from the blurb, is about someone who gets transported forwards in time to himself in the future, but it's not about a happy jolly `Back to the Future' nuclear family that you might imagine. Along the way there are some very funny jokes, & some wry observations about how a person from the eighties might see the noughties. On being told that music was crap now, the hero says that it wasn't so great back then either - the best was the pet shop boys. He's told that the Pet Shop Boys are now considered to be classic.
I'd say that this was Mil Millington's best book since TMGAIHAA. There are hints of that book in this one, the relationship of the hero to his partner is somewhat similar, but the similarities are sufficiently slight that this adds to, rather than detracts from the book.
When I was half way through I thought I would be disappointed at the length of the book - I want a good book to go on forever, so I can enjoy it for longer, but the length of the book works nicely - the story comes around to a conclusion & it finishes at just the right time.
Excellent - By: Mr. Michael Heron, 10 Jul 2008 It's not as funny as Things my Girlfriend & I have Argued about, but it's a far more poignant story. There are laughs alll the way through, but the tale of a young man waking up in an old man's body is told with wit & touching warmth. For those of us somewhere between Young & Middle Aged, there are even lessons to be learned within.
After the disappointing 'Love & other Near Death Experiences', I approached this one with some trepidation. I couldn't have found a better way to spend my evening than reading this.
