Customer Reviews

Passes the test of time

I cannot tell you how I love this book. I was probably around 14 when I first read it and have read it several times since. I found myself rereading it tonight and as a college student I still find myself enchanted with it. This book is perfect for romantics like myself. The descriptions are breathtaking and the love story is very moving. I cried this time because I am in a long distance relationship and found myself relating all too well with Annie. In short, read this book and its predecessor! I have yet to read the sequels but hope to soon.

A MUST READ!

I must confess that I have read this book about 5 times, and have thoroughly enjoyed each and every time. This books has a combination of both action and romance. It draws you into the story, and makes you love the characters. I have shared the book with several of my friends, and all of them have enjoyed it also. You should definitely read the Both Sides of Times, also a fantastic book, before reading this one. I hope this has helped you. I can say that Caroline B. Cooney has created a masterpiece. Read the first two.

Unique Race Against Time

I read this book for it's mysteriously beautiful cover. I found the story within it far more mysteriously beautiful than the illustration. I enjoyed the concept of a girl falling in love with a boy, but having the doomed wall of time seperating them. The two main characters intertwine so perfectly that you feel pity knowing their love has forbidden limits. Anna Sophia Lockwood falls in through the force of Time and is brought back to save her dear love, Strat, from a demented asylum. Annie is a courageous heroine driven by love. Strat is a true gentleman "crazy" for love. Together, their unforgettable love breaks barriers. Enough to sacrifice themselves to Time.

I really really really really really like this book!!!

When I first started reading this book, I looked at it as a chore, but by the time I was on the second or third page, I knew this book was going to be great. I understand this is the sequel to "Both Sides of Time" which I was unaware of at the time, but now I hope to begin reading the first book as well. I would recommend this book to anyone 12 and older. It's very interesting, and it would be a great book for book reports.
