Strange Attractors William Sleator Books

Think you know what time travel is? What the hazards are? How to avoid making serious, often bad changes to the timeline (or timelines)? Well, be ready to have all those assumptions knocked out of your head with a sledge hammer.

This story dives very fast and very deep into what can happen when time travel is used, rapidly devolving into misuse and trouble.

While written for the young-adult reader, the story is still compelling and detailed such that adult readers will enjoy it. Sleator is a master of his craft and his other stories are also wonderfully crafted.

Strange Attractors William Sleator Books Reviews

"Strange Attractors" was the best book I have ever read. It is set for a younger group of readers, but adults will enjoy this book as well. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who simply enjoys reading. The first time I read it was in seventh grade. I have read it at least five complete times by now. This is a great book to do a school project on. The only main conflict is locating the book at a bookstore near you.
-Happy Reading
Recommendation - I would recommend this book to someone who likes science fiction. One reason I would recommend this book is that it was exciting and the characters were good. " 'We must never use the phaser again', 'Sure, sure,' I said, 'there is no pointing arguing with you about it' ". This book was good because Max finds a time traveler. "This thing is a time machine". I would really recommend this book to anyone who would like a book on time travel.
All of William Sleator's books, pretty much, are good for young science fiction readers. He has a way of taking even science fiction clichés and making them something to wonder about again.

This one dealt with time travel and did so really well. I love how this author really makes you get sucked up into experiencing the attitudes of the characters. Despite the weirdness that happened because of it in the book, I wanted one of those calculators. . . .
Like many people here, I got this book from a book sale in 6th grade. I find interesting that while most Sleator books feature main characters age 16 or older, the books themselves seem to be aimed at younger readers. Anyway, I loved this book then, and I love it now that I have just re-read it 15 years later. The ending was exciting, it resolved every conflict, and it came as a surprise. All the classical elements of a good fiction story.

However, I have to agree with the person who mentioned the plot problems. They're definitely there, and I don't mean just scientific inaccuracies ... you can get away with that in science fiction, of course ... nor do I mean stupid mistakes made by the main character, although he certainly does make a lot of them ... I mean that elements of the science on which the plot is built are suddenly changed later on in the book, probably because a self-consistent system of time travel would lead to a lame and predictable ending, which of course is not what the author wants.

So I'm going to go ahead and give this book only three stars, which is very low by my standards since I only tend to review books that I consider well worth of my money.
I read this a long time ago and I had been looking for it for ages! Finally I found it here on ! It's a fairly quick read but still great. It's engaging and fascinating. I'll be passing it down to my kids!
It was written by William Sleator. What else do you need to know?
