    Not a bad book if you are able to keep up!

    Patience required
    Alex Dean experiences atemporal consciousness, "detethered from the ordinary passage of time," also known as time traveling. But so frequent are the time switches in The Day Tripper that early on I found myself quite frustrated, confused and wondering if I would even make it to the end of the book. The premise is interesting and the story actually well written save for the dizzying time switches throughout. The last 50 pages or so is like coming out of a dense forest into the light, answers a lot of questions and provides some welcome redemption to Alex Dean, an unlikeable, self-destructive character through most of the book. The Day Tripper is a complicated story that requires much patience to finish. I am happy I stuck with it but I can only recommend it to true fans of the genre.
