Denny is lower class, at least according to the way his world classifies their citizens and low class do not get high class jobs. Unless, of course, you pass an exam you were not suppose to finish and proceed to do it again just as fast and as accurate. When strange people offer him a job that will stretch his imagination, Denny can't help but jump at the chance. Of course, that was before he was told he'd be a Rewinder.
I am not a huge time travel buff, though I love Dr. Who and Back to the Future, I don't tend to read those type books. This one, though, intrigued me. Denny is a great character, with a history many can relate to. From the wrong side of the tracks, he works hard and studies to be rewarded with a chance at greatest. Without giving too much away, I enjoy his inner struggles and was pleased that he was more human than some characters now tend to be.
Filled with a great deal of action and finding out your true self, the plot carries itself well and opens up the thought that a simple few seconds can change so much. We cross several centuries in this story and the author stays pretty true to each era.
Full of surprises and a well thought out time displacement, Rewinder is a great read for those wanting something different. Time travel buffs will definitely love it, though you don't have to be a fan to actually get something out of this story. A definite superb read...
