History travelers pursue the literal American Dream. Bit of a shaggy dog story, but satisfying in that regard. (

Good story, good pace, relatable characters. I wish the author had known what a rumble seat actually was, though. (

If you don't try to think too hard about the premise of time (history) travel you will enjoy this book. Good guys, bad guys back and forth in history to find 'The American Dream', (which is not what you think). Very interesting story premise. Recommended. (

I liked it a bit. Not as much as 14. But I guess it should be better for a US citizen. (

Time travel, heists, a bunch of interesting characters, lots of quirky American history (often quite tongue-in-cheek)...tremendous fun! (
