5.0 out of 5 stars If you loved "Time and Again", you will love these stories, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I have read this book twice - so far. Some truly charming stories that, as was the case in the novel "Time and Again", encourage one to see the past with new eyes. I can honestly say that my perception of the past (and, consequently, the present) has been enriched by these stories. I especially loved the stories of the house that received a second chance, and of the car vintage car that gives its riders a second chance. I have recommended this book to many of my friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating!, 25 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Jack Finney's short stories on time and the characters that occupy it are a fascinating pleasure. Savor each one as the gift that it is, and take the journey through time. I couldn't put it down - and think of it often.

2.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic and old, 13 Nov 2008
By Mr. Vojta Camek "aslayeruk" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These stories are charming in a naieve 1950s sort of a way. Don't expect modern sci-fi, this is more like HG Well's Time Machine than even a Heinlein novel.
