Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 8-10?This sequel to Both Sides of Time (Delacorte, 1995) fails as both a romance and a time-travel story. Anna Sophia Lockwood once again slips back in time to be with her love, Hiram Stratton, Jr. She arrives only to find Strat's sister in the clutches of the nefarious Walker Walkley; Strat locked up in an insane asylum because of her (and the large fortune Walkley wants to get his mitts on); and Strat's fiancee, Harriet, dying of TB in an Adirondack sanitarium. Annie rescues Strat, takes him to Harriet in time for her last breath, and then sends him along his way before being kidnapped by Walkley. In the end, of course, she ends up back in her own time, better able to deal with the turbulence within her family. The time-travel device seems to exist in order to give Cooney a soap box from which to moralize on the plight of women in the late 19th century, and it stands out from the narrative like a sore thumb. Even the romance flops. The same young man who spends a wakeful night at Annie's side, watching her sleep and twining her hair through his fingers, forgets about her completely when he sees Harriet. Cooney tries several times to work in the turmoil in Annie's family, but it comes off as forced as the young woman's endless musings about the perfection of Strat's love. They are a tiresome pair of lovers, caught in a tiresome story. For more successful time-travel romance, try Jack Finney's Time and Again (S.&S., 1986) or Eileen Dunlop's Elizabeth Elizabeth (Holt, 1977; o.p.).?Patricia A.

From Booklist

Gr. 6^-10. Apparently, Annie Lockwood did not fall further back in time at the end of Both Sides of Time. In this sequel, she returns from her own time to the 1890s, where she discovers several years have passed and that her beloved Strat is being held incommunicado and shackled in an insane asylum for believing that she did indeed come from the future. What ensues is a harrowing adventure as Annie goes to the rescue, pursued by villain Walker Walkley, who was able to convince Strat's father that Strat was mad and has plans to marry Strat's sister and take control of the family fortune. The chase is exciting and the upshot satisfying. There is also tragedy, as Harriet, to whom Strat became engaged after Annie's disappearance and before his incarceration, dies of consumption. Though he now rejects his father and his money, Strat has debts to pay and a new life to begin, and this time, it's he who realizes that they must part--Annie must return to her own time. Sure to be enjoyed by readers of the first book, who will be delighted to know that a third is planned. Sally Estes --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT TIMES THE BIGGEST NUMBER, Jan 18 2004

C.Marie "caRalynn =]" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Out of Time (Paperback)

I love these books (Both sides of time; out of time; prisoner of time; for all time).The books feature Annie Lockwood of 1990s and Strat (Hiram stratton junior) of 1890s. Annie traveled back in time and they fell in love. In this part of the books strat is put in an insane asylum after annie leaves, insisting she was from the 1990s. I LOVE THESE BOOKS I HOPE SHE WRITES A 5TH ONE!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A continued romance through time, Jun 27 2003

Ruth Benson "Ruth" (Seattle,WA USA :)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Out of Time (Paperback)

A continued romance through time. Annie Lockwood is from the present world of 1995. Strat is of the past world of 1898. Annie got a taste of falling through time and falling in true love with strat. when Annie falls back to her own time, Strat can only think of the love he shared with Annie. This has however has gotten him imprisoned by those who choose to not understand that Annie had traveled through time. Strat's powerful father and wicked friend has claimed strat to be insane, and for 'his' safety,they have sentenced him to Evergreen asylum. All Annie wants to do is fall back to 1898 to see her love again. When She does, she finds the true meaning why time has let her fall back. Can Annie help save her true love Strat? grab a cup of coffee, get nice and comfy so you can travel trough time with Annie to find out! This captivating story got my attention when I was in high school (1995) and has once more captivated me again. I'm sure you won't be dissatisfied.

3.0 out of 5 stars Out of Time was average.
I didn�¿t really like this book; it started out slow and never really sped up. The book was not very long but it could have been much shorter. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Love Lost in Time
This book was not as good as the last Caroline Cooney book that I have read. It was a little slow in the beginning to get to the transfer through time. Read more
