Publisher Description
The long-awaited sequel to Time And Again Si Morley is back and the world may never be the same.
When Time and Again was published in 1970, it immediately developed a loyal following that has grown with each passing year. Now, twenty-five years later, Jack Finney returns to the same magical territory and finds Ruben Prien still at work with the Project, still dreaming of altering man's fate by going back in time to adjust events...to interfere, some might say, with destiny.
Once again, the conduit to that bygone era is Simon Morley, the man who actually proved himself capable of traveling back and forth in time. This time, he does so with a grand purpose: an attempt to prevent World War I.
A tale that is both thrilling and nostalgic, magical and terrifying, ultimately charming and full of suspense, From Time To Time is the sequel a generation has been waiting for.

"This book had great moments and fell flat in others. Once again I liked the glimpses and photographs of New York City in the past. I was interested in the possibility of preventing World War I and the consequences of this. Unfortunately, the ending left me dissatisfied."
— Jennifer (4 out of 5 stars)

From Time to Time Listener Reviews
-
" Very different feel from the movie -- read this a long time ago, but still keep a feeling of that hotel room "
— Ginny, 2/20/2014 -
" Not nearly as good as the first book. In fact, this was a fairly pointless novel. Basically he learns that he can't change the past. Plus he spends a lot of time experiencing New York in the 1910s. "
— Ian, 2/19/2014 -
" ...and he did it again!! "
— Pam, 2/8/2014 -
" Not quite as enjoyable as Time and Again, but still an enjoyable read with a similar fictional / non-fictional plot. The character development is well constructed and the story is just fun to read. "
— Jeremy, 2/7/2014 -
" The sequel of Time and Again. While not quite as good, it still holds your interest. Fast read. "

" BOT, Super! "
— Vickie, 1/16/2014 -
" 25 years later JF writes the sequel to Time and Again. This book just didn't do anything for me. "
— Kevin, 12/24/2013 -

" A good sequel to Time and Again. "
— Steven, 9/21/2013 -

— Brandon, 9/20/2013 -
" The time traveler from the first novel on time travel by Jack Finney has another adventure. I felt as if I were there, back in time with the protagonist. This was a wonderful book with a few surprises. I loved it. "
— Steven, 7/15/2013 -
" I enjoyed this book, but nearly as much as Time and Again. As another reviewer writes, this book just didn't capture the wonder of traveling back in time as well as the first. This one is still good, I just found it a bit disappointing that it didn't came closer to being as good as Time and Again. "
— Flossie, 12/21/2012 -

" A bad sequel to a fine book. Very forced. "
— Estott, 11/25/2011 -
" Like the character, but the story wasn't as good this time. The poignancy of the penultimate chapter was great, but didn't fit the rest of the book somehow. The beginning, while necessary, just felt clumsy to me. "
— Thom, 10/5/2011 -
" This is a great sequel by Finney. "
— Jody, 9/30/2011 -

— J, 1/14/2011 -
" Somehow I got to the 7th out of 9 disks and usually when I'm that far into it, I stick it out. Not this one. I was bored pretty much the entire time. The beginning was an OK pace, but the middle just drags on and on. "

" Intriguing. Again, with a bit too much detail in certain parts, but a very unique and good story. Really makes you think about time travel and our country's history. I had to stop thinking about it after I read it b/c I was starting to get dizzy. :) "
