Add a CommentThe book was a little slow to grab my attention, but once it was caught I found the narrative and ideas to be pretty magical. There were some mighty convenient coincidences, and a bit too much of romanticizing the past (especially at the end), but I took it as it was offered, as an entertainment. If some of the strokes felt a bit broad-handed, I didn't mind, because there was some clever plotting too. Very diverting.
After reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King, I read that Jack Finney was THE author for time travel. I therefore read Time and Again only to be disappointed. Finney loves long descriptions and the first 150 pages of Time and Again are descriptions of of New York City in 1882. wanting to convince the reader that his research was authentic, one gets lost and confused in endless descriptions. One forgets that there is actually a story in those lines. Considered a classic, I would say skip it!
Very wordy and very slow moving. Found it boring. 11/22/63 by Stephen King is a far superior book.
This brings the reader back to another time that is so vivid you can smell, hear, taste it. One of my favourite books.
