Time and Again

De: Jack Finney

Narrado por: Paul Hecht

One of the most beloved tales of our time!

Science fiction, mystery, a passionate love story, and a detailed history of Old New York blend together in Jack Finney's spellbinding story of a young man enlisted in a secret Government experiment.

Transported from the mid-20th century to New York City in the year 1882, Si Morley walks the fashionable "Ladies' Mile" of Broadway, is enchanted by the jingling sleigh bells in Central Park, and solves a 20th-century mystery by discovering its 19th-century roots. Falling in love with a beautiful young woman, he ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past.

A story that will remain in the listener's memory, Time and Again is a remarkable blending of the troubled present and a nostalgic past, made vivid and extraordinarily moving by the images of a time that was... and perhaps still is.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Go back to a wonderful world and have a wonderful time doing it." ( The New York Times)

A book from the past about the past

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I, too, found this book through Stephen King's recommendation in 11-22-63. I also noted that Jack Finney was a master of sci-fi

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed the historical glimpses of the 1880's

Which character – as performed by Paul Hecht – was your favorite?

Julie

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really - but I looked forward to listening to it.

Any additional comments?

This book was written a long time ago about a time even longer ago...writing has evolved as we have evolved...so don't expect an action packed book. Look for a slow read that takes you to a different time and place...it's an easy and enjoyable read.

Loved It!

Great book, loved it! It all seemed so vivid; like I stepped into a painting!

(Perhaps it’s because I got back from New York City just yesterday and it’s still fresh in my mind that I was able to visualise the story so well!)

Finney takes his time “painting” scenes and doesn’t rush so don’t read it if you’re in a hurry – I wasn’t and just loved it! I plan to dive into Book 2 right away.

Excellent book

The book is much better with the pictures that are in the printed version. A great story.

Great Story, but a Little Draggy

If you could sum up Time and Again in three words, what would they be?

Fascinating but Slow

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Come with me to Long Ago

Best book no one 's read!

That is how my friend described this book but It's occasionally slow moving . GREAT ENDING!!

I read this on kindle.

Would you listen to Time and Again again? Why?

I got this for a driving trip and forgot to put it on my IPOD. Instead, I read it later on Kindle. Very good book. A little slow at the start, but it picks up, and the end is satisfying. Great history lesson about NYC.

Worth making it to the end

The details of 19th century New York can be, at times, a bit overwhelming to listen through.

I have to say, in the end, the vivid descriptions, and the relationships, make complete sense and are a compelling listen.

I will be listening to the sequel; I’m looking forward to it.

boring

I got about 3/4 of the way through this book and discovered I didn't care how it ended.

best time travel story of all time!!

the description of the past in this story are very detailed and fascinating. this the third that I have listened to this story and it always sucks me in. if you are lover of New York City this is a wonderfully descriptive story of what has changed and what still remains of its past.

One of my all time Favorites

Love this! Think about it and all the possibilities. Jack Finney writes descriptions that stay in my mind. Love all his books.
