Summary: Easily my favorite book of all time - a great read
Comment: I am shocked by the range of reviews for what I consider one of my favorite books. It is (using a much over used word here) a masterpiece. Strong characters, intricate plot, exquisite detail all grounded in the most exciting place in the world, New York City. What's not to love? I have re-read this book several times. I also have it on tape and play it to get through long car trips - it's an old, reliable, much loved friend. I am fascinated by time travel and I love New York so that probably explains the appeal of this book. I also grew up as a reader (as opposed to a real TV junkie) and I love getting lost in very detailed prose and intricate word pictures - the kind Finney employs here to hook the reader. I can visualize one scene in my mind now - Sy Morley in his rooms in the Dakota, snow falling, the city silent, bathed in white. Is he in the 19th or 20th century? Was the experinent a success or a dismal failure? You have to read on (and will want to read on) to see.

Summary: Unforgettable
Comment: This was the first (and remains the most memorable) Jack
Finney book I read and it was simply delightful! It's sort
of a mix of historical novel and science fiction, an unlikely
combination. Finney presents a fascinating account of a very
unique way to travel through time (going BACK in time instead
of FORWARD), and makes sure the reader is thinking about the
amazing impact such a time traveler could have on our lives
today. What's fun is Finney makes you believe you could
really do this! Why not? Along with thought-provoking
details about how Si Morley, the main character gets back to
late 19th century New York City, Finney weaves a remarkable
and dramatic story of crime, love, passion, and life in New
York over 100 years ago. The text is accompanied by period
photos (supposedly taken by the "first-person" author, which
add a real feel of authenticity. You're bound to learn
something neat about old New York; the story will stick with
you and will doubtless lead you to other Finney time travel
books; he's a master at the genre! Enjoy!

Summary: Fabulous and fascinating
Comment: 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!
