Summary: Characters not unique, ok plot, but generally deserves 4!
Comment: This isn't the peak of all books. That's for sure. There are a few flaws that made me knock a star off. First, the characters seem, I don't know, a bit familiar. Maybe its the classic time period that's the problem. There's always the handsome youngman everyone's in love with, and another girl who's tough as nails and is all about fighting man-dominance. Then there's the "fatal beauty" (Redwall readers might know what I'm talking about) who everyone's goggling at, and the uglier, love-struck girl who is jealous of the other one. Same old stuff. Second of all, the plot's a bit slushy. Read the summary. I got it straight off the back of the book:
SUMMARY: Imagine changing centuries - and making things worse, not better, on both sides of time. Imagine being involved in two love triangles in two different centuries. Imagine discovering that, no matter which direction you travel in time, you must abandon someone you love. Meet fifteen-year old Annie Lockwood, a romantic living in the wrong century. When she travels back a hundred years and lands in 1895, a time when privileged young ladies wear magnificent gowns, attend elegant oarties, and are courted by handsome gentlemen, Annie at last finds romance ....
It goes on, but you get the gist. My opinion is that the plot isn't a strong feeling. It's not leading anywhere very much. It lags on for a little, but picks up its pace when Cooney livens everything up. And its really funny when they (some 1895 people) meet Annie, as she comes from a more free century. They act like she's a dog or something. Otherwise, its an excellent book. It's a mix of a fantasy, romance, and mystery novel, making it interesting and exciting at the same time. There are many side things that push the book's value even higher. I recommend this book to those people who don't care about the two flaws I've pointed out. Later!

Summary: An exciting sequel
Comment: Annie Lockwood, a fifteen-year-old girl, lives in the wrong century. She dreams of romantic dinners with the man of her dreams that will sweep her off of her feet. Unfortunately she doesn't have the gentelman who could give her exactly what she wants. She has Sean. He is far from her fantasies. When she travels back to the 1800s, she gets her chance at true love. There she meets the guy she'd been dreaming about her whole life. Strat is from the well respected and rich family of the town where their mansion sits. Annie is welcomed to stay with the family, though they have no idea who she really is and where she is from. Strat and Annie quickly fall in love with each other but for how long can it last? She knows that she can't stay there, in that time forever. She wants to stay, but for how long will time let her stay? Caroline B. Cooney keeps the 1800s love and romance alive in this great book.

Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK
Comment: This book, written by Cooney is one of the best I have ever read. It is filled with love, history, adventure, mystery, and common problems associated with teens today. This is the perfect book for helpless romantics (like me) who love to read. I highly recommened reading this book.
** If you would like to continue reading the "Time" sereie, read OUT OF TIME, PRISONER OF TIME, AND FOR ALL TIME.
