These intriguing novels about time travel fail to reach their potential. Scott's low-key style doesn't do justice to Finney's colorful storytelling. He even fails to bring to life the colorful descriptions of vintage New York. B.J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
Midwest Book Review
Blend mystery and science fiction with a romance which travels through time and you have a haunting story of a man transported back in time to fall in love with a beautiful woman of yesteryear. A fine, moving story is related by avid reader Campbell Scott in this compelling production.
Review
New York Times Go back to a wonderful world and have a wonderful time doing it.
Time and Again FROM OUR EDITORS
First published in 1970, this highly original cult classic tells the story of Simon Morley, a young Manhattan illustrator who is selected by a secret government agency--presumably to test Einstein's theory that the past actually co-exists with the present--and finds himself suddenly transported back to the New York of the 1880s. Written with style and elegance, this bold, visionary novel provides "Mind-boggling, imagination-stretching, exciting, romantic entertainment."-- San Francisco Examiner. B&W illus.

FROM THE CRITICS
Gale Research
Time and Again was favorably received upon publication in 1970. ANew York Times reviewer deemed it "an inviting and highly readable piece of entertainment" and added that Finney "has created piece of nostalgic suspense that is not without its special poignancy." Similarly, W. G. Rogers wrote in the New York Times Book Review that with Time and Again, Finney had concocted "a most ingenious confection of time now and time then." Rogers concluded that through the novel "you go back to a wonderful world and have a wonderful time doing it."
