Book Reviews of Time and Again
Book Review: Almost there.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far my favorite book. Finney's description of Old New York, made me feel as if I had gone back in time. I loved it there. It seemed so realistic, not science fictionish. This book is intriguing. You won't want to put it down, and you won't want it to end. I have lived near New York City my whole life and after reading this book have never looked at New York in the same light. Standing in front of the Dakota now, brings me back to scenes in the book. I almost want to go inside, I almost believe if I do I too will go back in time. If you need an escape from today's busy, stressful times, go back. Let Jack Finney take you back as only he can.Book Review: Amazing Genius!
Summary: 5 Stars
A Quantum Leap of reading. How his man managed to take old pictures and form a believable, and personal, story around each one is an amazing feat. I found myself wondering if he did travel back in time - was it possible - could I do it? I even tried the self-hypnosis he told about - picking the civil war as my target. No -- didn't work for me - yet! Would I love to do it! The ending of this book shook me - he turned a time travel into a mystery and then the last pages shake you around the other way. It's amazing. Read "The Mirror" , read Diana Gabaldon's time travel series -- but please don't miss including this book as your number one, best dog eared copy of your library. You won't be sorry.Book Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
The sense of actually being in the mid-1800's was so strong, that I felt I had to decompress to bring myself back to my own time. And I did so very reluctantly. A wonderful story with amazing images! Highly recommended.Book Review: An Intriguing Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
Jack Finney's tale is a combination mystery and travelogue into the past. The formula works like magic, except for the added political philosophizing near the end. It's one of the most creative, intriguing novels I've read. Highly recommended.Book Review: An Unforgettable Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first book in months I have come across with that grabbed my attention so quickly. I kept looking for every opportunity to sit alone and read it, even snuck around at work and school. It's a sci-fi suspense novel about an ordinary man, Simon Morley, who was chosen to travel back in time and rediscover a world so far away in every way yet so close -- the year 1882 in New York City. However, this is not your oridinary time machine travel story, the means of time traveling is on a much different scale. The people Si Morley comes to know in 1882 are very real and intruiging and the purpose of Si's journey will have you turning pages. Jack Finney knows how to write a good, suspensful novel. His style is brilliant, very easygoing. Although it is a fantasy you'd want to believe in it!
