Time and Again Book Reviews
Time and Again by Jack Finney Book Summary
The 50th anniversary edition of the beloved classic that Stephen King has called “THE great time-travel story.” Featuring a brand-new introduction by the New York Times bestselling author of Recursion, Blake Crouch.
When advertising artist Si Morley is recruited to join a covert government operation exploring the possibility of time travel, he jumps at the chance to leave his mundane 20th-century existence and step into the past. But he also has another motivation for going back in time: a half-burned letter that tells of a mysterious, tragic death and ominously of “fire which will destroy the whole world.”
Traveling to New York City in January 1882 to investigate, he finds a Manhattan teeming with a different kind of life, the waterfront unimpeded by skyscrapers, open-air markets packed with activity, Central Park bustling with horse drawn sleighs—a city on the precipice of great things. At first, Si welcomes these trips as a temporary escape but when he falls in love with a woman he meets in the past, he must choose whether to return to modern life or live in 1882 for good.
“Pure New York fun” (Alice Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author), Time and Again is meticulous recreation of New York in the late nineteenth century, exploring the possibilities of time travel to tell an ageless story of love, longing, and adventure. Finney’s magnum opus has been a source of inspiration for countless science fiction writers since its first publication in 1970.

A classic time travel story. I enjoyed many parts of this story. Other parts seemed too much or too little. I feel like Finney spends too much time on mundane details: "the room was green with teal curtains and a portrait of a man with large sideburns on the wall" and I feel not really enough time on things I wish he would spend more time on, like the theory of time travel he uses, or the way he actually is able to go between times. I get twenty five pages about the bar he ate lunch in but I only get two pages about the transition between worlds? Hmm... But still, a fun read, with some interesting world views and definitely worth reading. I also very much enjoyed all the moderate to professional NYC locale discussion, very cool to learn about all these old buildings.
Remarkable. A wonderful and well-rendered time-travel novel that kept my interest to the last page!
An Amazing read. It may be the strongest instinct of the human race, stronger even than sex or hunger, is (sic) curiosity: the absolute need to know. It can and often does, motivate a lifetime, it kills more than cats, and the prospect of satisfying it can be the most exciting of emotions.” Simon (Si) Morley, a 20th century office grunt, gets conscripted into a fascinating project that sends him back to 1880s Manhattan. The late Jack Finney has written one of those fascinating “time travel” fantasies since Pete Hamil’s “Forever”, a book that sits on my personal “best books list”. I’m so overwhelmed by how much I loved this book I can hardly articulate how I feel. I can see how authors like Hamil and Audrey Niffenberger were influenced by it. When I first read about it on Tor.com,I remember make note of it.Six months or so later, when it came into my library reserve queue I didn’t get very far before I had to return it, and decided then and there it was time to get a copy. Why hadn’t I ever heard of him before? His untimely death in 1977 leaves us with a limited shelf of his work. Imagine what he’d think of the 21st century! Highly Recommended 5/5
Boring. I just did not enjoy being told every detail of the surroundings page after page waiting for something to happen.I just gave up on the book.
Wonderful!. Reading King's acknowledgements at the end of his JFK novel, already wondering what I'd read next, I found my answer and didn't regret for one moment buying Time and Again.
