Praise
“While the history is awash in tedious legislative minutiae, Downing brings it to life by dramatizing politicians and various industries pitted against one another in absurd, often hilarious debates. It’s a colorful story of something we all take to be fundamental, but through history has been maddening, divisive and baffling.”—Publishers Weekly
“Novelist Downing writes gracefully, with a penchant for the strange detail, and he draws much mirth from the facts about [daylight savings time] and its amorphous benefits.”—Booklist
