"I stood in anticipation before my open bedroom window, listening to the steady cadence of the rain. It fell upon the darkened world beyond and a myriad collection of sounds melted seamlessly together... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was a quick read, just a couple of nights. I could not put it down. I live near where the author grew up, and the story is based, and pass by Walton Lake almost daily. I am looking forward to future books. Well written, and makes you feel as if you are there, very descriptive, but easy to follow. I am going to pass it on to family and friends, I am sure they will enjoy it as much as I have!
Wow! Breathtaking!!

I was absorbed into the story after reading the very first paragraph. Could not wait to see what was going to happen next. This book reminded me of many 'deja vu' experiences I have had. Excellect, yet unexpected ending, leaves one wanting more. I would say, a sci-fi story with a love twist.
Fun, fast read

What an awesome book

I absolutely loved this book! I read the previous review so I decided to try it. Bought it and couldn't put it down. It kept me on the edge just waiting to find out what would happen next. It will appeal to anyone who is or has ever been 14 and had all the experiences of someone this age. Now that I'm done, I'm just hoping that there will be a sequel because it leaves you begging for more! Can't wait to see any others this author turns out.
Time Travel and a Surprise Ending
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I picked up this book on a whim and it turned out to be one of the most intriguing, suspenseful books I've read in years. The story focuses on the chance "meeting" of two star-crossed lovers with an unusual time-travel twist. As the subtle sci-fi mystery unravels, it keeps the reader guessing even as the book comes to its whirlwind and startling conclusion. After I read the surprise ending, I sat there for a full five minutes staring at the closed book on the table in awe. It's been awhile since a book has done that for me. I've been looking for a long time for a book like Richard Matheson's classic "Somewhere in Time". This book is in the same vein, with a love story that's just as powerful. The time travel is well-crafted and rooted in science, too, which made it that much better. The finely crafted descriptions, dialog and fantastic story make this a five-star read.
