Expiration Date by Duane Swierczynski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
While this doesn't exactly break a ton of new ground in the time-travel genre, Swierczynski brings his usual flair to the book. Expiration Date is a well paced, interesting effort that keeps you guessing and parcels out twists and turns just often enough to keep everything fresh. The time travel itself is interesting enough, mechanically, and the limitations and uses of it are well explored as Mickey tries to piece together his family's past as he explores his father's death. Like many of Swierxzynski's books, there's a certain cinematic quality to this (I often feel like I'm reading an action movie when I read his books), but that's not a bad thing for me (I think it's one of the polarizing features of his writing, and something that some readers find off-putting).
