I think if you are familiar with New York City you will enjoy this look into the past. It is illustrated so that what is real is combined with fiction so it is almost believable. I enjoyed it and this is my second reading(with many years inbetween)

Was very slow. Lacking in a true plot. Was a struggle to get to a point that had some "action". There were some very interesting facts and great descriptions of NYC. The author did give the reader some great visuals.

The last 100 pages of the book were actually good, but the first 300 were nearly unbearable!! I had to pace the floor in order to stay awake long enough to read it. Had I not been reading it for a club, I would have dropped it completely. I truly enjoyed the last 100 pages, but I never would have gotten there!!!

"Time And Again" is a fascinating, thoughtful and fabulously researched book. Although time travel is at the core, it is not really a science fiction book. Instead, the travel between New York in the 1970s and 1880s is merely a device to create a framework for a romance, a mystery and a thought provoking look at how cities and cultures change - and don't.

Si Morley, the protagonist is an average guy who is chosen to participate in a top secret program - the chance to travel through time to a New York of 90 years earlier. While there, he he undergoes a personal catharsis along with observing history first hand.

Among the many outstanding qualities of the writing is the author's ability to bring to life New York of the 1880s in a way that neither glamorizes nor diminishes it. We simply see people living their lives , as we learn about games, culture, romance and the challenges of day to day life.

The book contains a superb mystery, a touching romance and many wonderful surprises.
