Jim Fulner reviewed Callahan's Crosstime Saloon by Spider Robinson
2 stars
This work was not good. Its description sound right up my ally. Science Fiction that takes place in a bar, fully of bad jokes and puns. returnreturnBut its not good. First off it wasn't actually written as a novel but a number of independent short stories intended for publication in bad 70s Sci-Fi magazines. Secondly the stories of time travelers and aliens and the like aren't told in a way to account adventure and explore possibilities of scientific theory in practical application, but instead focuses on feelings. returnreturnThere are more than enough feelings in the real life, I don't need this in my Sci-Fi. returnreturnDon't waste your time.
