Editorial Review:
The New York Times Bestseller -- Jack Finney's long-awaited sequel to his classic illustrated novel Time and Again.
Simon Morley, whose logic-defying trip to the New York City of the 1880s in Time and Again has enchanted readers for twenty-five years, embarks on another trip across the borders of time. This time Reuben Prien at the secret, government-sponsored Project wants Si to leave his home in the 1880s and visit New York in 1912. Si's mission: to protect a man who is traveling across the Atlantic with vital documents that could avert World War I. So one fateful day in 1912, Si finds himself aboard the world's most famous ship...the Titanic.

Rating: - echoes
I had heard that this book was not nearly as good as it's predecessor, Time and Again. Since I didn't think Time and Again was so great, I wasn't even sure there was a point to reading this one. But I was curious, so I did. And in some ways, I actually thought this book was better than the first one, or at least it had more potential.

Rating:  - Gone is the excitement from the Finney's first novel
Not much here to impressed me. Plenty of information on New York during the early 1900's.

Rating:  - A very nice follow-on
If you read Time and Again, enjoyed it, and want more, this is the book for you. It was for me. I wasn't disappointed. Otherwise, skip it. Read the other reviews.
Rating: - Different from the First - and Good Enough to Finish
So we've all established that the sequel isn't as good as the first, but by what definition? It's different, certainly, but I wouldn't disparage it as much as some of the others did, saying it wasn't worth writing or picking up.
There's less action and suspense and much more history and storytelling. It's quite steeped in the history of 1912, including details on dress, dancing and vaudeville. Si did a fantastic job of remembering long conversations verbatim (said with a bit of wryness, ... Read More
Rating: - A really good book A+
this book is fantastic,the author makes you feel as if you were really there,and you identify with the main character,fact and fiction are intermingled,until you dont know what is fact and what is fiction.
