It contains book reviews, literary criticism and commentaries that have appeared in various works since the 1970s. ReceptionBookList wrote "Most of her conversational, fast-moving, often wry inquiries into literature, politics, and ethics were originally published in England, hence little known in America, a lack redressed in this generous and pleasurable collection. Knowing books as intimately as she does, and caring deeply about reading and writing, Lessing pens critical essays that are vibrant and illuminating, with quotable lines on every page."[1] and the Library Journal stated "Lessing comments cleverly on the classic novelists (e.g., Leo Tolstoy), but some of the most interesting pieces are centered on less well known or virtually forgotten writers. There are quite a few essays on the Sufi author Idries Shah (1924-96); other topics Lessing covers range from politics to cats."[1]Kirkus Reviews wrote "While this collection of random journalism—some dating back to 1974, but most from the past decade—has the inevitable repetitions and a rather scattershot feel, it still gives a nice sense of Lessing’s character and commitments in vigorous old age."[2] Publishers Weekly wrote "The main theme, whether addressed overtly or underlying her literary criticism, is the indispensable place of books in the life of an educated person and an enlightened culture. Hers is a clarion call."[3]Time Bites has also been reviewed by The New York Review of Books,[4] and The Daily Telegraph.[5]References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.buffalolib.org/vufind/Record/1640988/Reviews |title=Time bites : views and reviews |website=www.buffalolib.org |publisher=Buffalo and Erie County Public Library |accessdate=5 November 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/doris-lessing/time-bites/ |title=TIME BITES Views and Reviews |date=15 September 2005 |website=www.kirkusreviews.com |publisher=Kirkus Media LLC |accessdate=5 November 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-06-083140-0 |title=Time Bites: Views and Reviews |date=10 October 2005|website=www.publishersweekly.com |publisher=PWxyz LLC|accessdate=5 November 2016}} 4. ^{{cite journal |date=November 30, 2006 |title=The Adventures of Doris Lessing|author=John Leonard |url=http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2006/11/30/the-adventures-of-doris-lessing/ |journal=The New York Review of Books |publisher=NYREV, Inc|accessdate=5 November 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news |date=7 October 2004 |title=A writer's life: Doris Lessing |author=Jasper Rees |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/3625196/A-writers-life-Doris-Lessing.html |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |accessdate=5 November 2016}} External links[https://www.worldcat.org/title/time-bites-views-and-reviews/oclc/56649211?referer=di&ht=edition Library holdings of Time Bites: Views and Reviews]{{DEFAULTSORT:Time Bites: Views and Reviews}} 4 : 2004 non-fiction books|Literary criticism|Essay collections|British essays |
