5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original!, 10 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: From Time to Time (Paperback)
Clearly, from reading the other reviews, I must be the only reader who thought this was the better book. As much as I loved TIME AND AGAIN -- and it's a permanent part of my library and a book I've re-read dozens of times -- when I saw this in a bookstore (sorry, Amazon), I grabbed it. At first I was disappointed, but on a second reading began to pick up the magic that was, if anything, stronger the second time around. The opening chapter, of people unrelated to Si Morley who gather at a curious meeting to pinpoint strange alternative versions of history, is intriguing and exciting. And as Rube Prien struggles with his own disjointed memory and sets in motion the return of the Project, things pick up even more. By the way, check out the true stories on the Titanic -- Archibald Butt, a pivotal character in this book, DID in fact travel on its maiden voyage and failed to return home, despite his importance as an aide to President Taft (who beseiged the White Star Line office with inquiries about him). But we've seen so much Titanic lore recently that it's almost a relief that the climactic scenes are so brief. Read it, read it again, and love it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Sequel to a wonderful book, 1 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: From Time to Time (Paperback)
Time and Again is a charming glimpse into the past and is one of my all-time favorite books. Buy it! I've re-read it several times, so when this supposed sequel came out, I immediately bought it. I just tried reading it again. It's an un-charming, disjointed, unhappy excuse for a sequel. The cover art is nice.

Unlike other "reviewers" who imply that one of the strengths of this novel is its pleasant "what-if" journey into the past, I found it boring and scanned through many, many pages in hopes of finding the excitement of discovering a new era. I love historical fiction! Instead I was "treated" to lengthy ramblings on vaudeville and a potentially sad Christmas in 1918. Yuuk! I even miss good old Jake!

I sincerely hope that Mr Finney will write another (and better) Simon Morley sequel, but I'll read the reviews first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take a journey through time to Old New York., 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: From Time to Time (Paperback)
Strongly recommend if you are interested in the many insightful details about urban life in the late 19th-century and 1912. People often forget that if it were possible to travel back in time, it would be like visiting a different culture. You will find this to be more intriguing than the discussion of time travel itself or the two chapters about the protagonist's journey on the Titanic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lukewarm sequel
Finney's original book, Time and Again, is considered a classic by many, although I find it is poorly written and gimmicky while lacking rigorous thought about time travel. Read more
