Summary: 5 Stars
The descriptions of 1882 New York smack of reality more than anything I have ever read. The reactions of the protagonist are the best of any time travel novel I have ever read - truly amazingly authentic. The tale starts out slowly, but brings the reader to an awesome action-packed, never-rushed conclusion. Extremely satisfying. A beautiful, thought-provoking story. There is everything here, science fiction, mystery, action, philosophy, and a bit of romance. Highly recommended.Book Review: Best Book Ever Read
Summary: 5 Stars
My father gave me this book 25 years ago after my uncle had given it to him, both claiming it was the best book they ever read. I had lent this book out and never received it back so had to purchase a copy so I had one in my library.
I love this book like no book I have ever read. It completely sweeps you into the story, transcending time and full of details of history. The building the main character lives in, The Dakota,is where John Lennon lived and was killed in front of as he was leaving his home.
A beautiful story that makes it so hard to put the book down. Highly, highly recommended!
Book Review: Better than I remembered
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second time for me to read this book and I am surprised by how much of the story I had forgotten. It is a great mystery story and for those familiar with New York City it is a great historical novel. I was struck this time by his indictment of modern problems. Modern for the time the book was written, that is. But also by his honesty about the problems of the 19th century: disease, oppression, corruption, etc. One reviewer said it was too romantic a view of the 19th century. I don't agree. Another (Bronte) said it was stupid that Si didn't go back to visit his wife. Well, (mild spoiler alert) ...
a) he wasn't married to her (Kate) and b) he DID go to see her and they amicably broke off their relationship before his last trip. So there!
