This book marks the tenth novel in my quest to read all of the Hugo Award winners.
The Big Time was the winner of best novel for 1958. I found this book a little difficult to read and hard to follow. All the action takes place in one small location over a continuous period of time. Without giving away any spoilers, I thought the concept of the novel was interesting -- and it had a lot of similarities to Asimov's The End of Eternity, which was published three years earlier.
Incidentally, this novel won for 1958 and the last one I reviewed here was for 1956. There was no Hugo winner for best novel in 1957.
I'll get an opportunity to read another novel by the same author when I get to the winner for 1965 and will give him another chance.
