Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

These intriguing novels about time travel fail to reach their potential. Scott's low-key style doesn't do justice to Finney's colorful storytelling. He even fails to bring to life the colorful descriptions of vintage New York. B.J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Book Description

Finally on audio -- one of the most beloved tales of our time!

Science fiction, mystery, a passionate love story, and a detailed history of Old New York blend together in Jack Finney's spellbinding story of a young man enlisted in a secret Government experiment.

Transported from the mid-twentieth century to New York City in the year 1882, Si Morley walks the fashionable "Ladies' Mile" of Broadway, is enchanted by the jingling sleigh bells in Central Park, and solves a 20th-century mystery by discovering its 19th-century roots. Falling in love with a beautiful young woman, he ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past.

A story that will remain in the listener's memory, Time and Again is a remarkable blending of the troubled present and a nostalgic past, made vivid and extraordinarily moving by the images of a time that was...and perhaps still is. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Snatched my attention and held it all the way through., Mar 9 2006
This review is from: Time and Again (School & Library Binding)
I was first intrigued by the great cover art of this book and after reading the back I new it was a 'must have'.
Finney did not disappoint. As I said before this book held my interest from beginning to end...but then I should have been born in this time period so it was a no brainer that I would be hooked!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and fascinating, Jul 17 2004
By S. Ann Hovey (Eugene, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time and Again (Paperback)
This book is a little bit slow in the first few chapters but stick it out and get through them and you will be glad you did. It is truly a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down and stayed up late to finish it. That's what a novel should be!
