"Hokey. I did not realize when I requested this book that involved time travel. The book started beautifully but I stopped reading when it got ridiculous. Quite a departure from her previous book. Sorry, I could not suspend belief for this one."
Usually when this happens, I can list what I did and didn't like about the book. I'm finding that difficult to do. The book was pleasant enough. There wasn't really anything I disliked about it. There wasn't a lot that I strongly liked, either.
I think the plot had a lot of promise, and I'm not quite sure why it didn't feel like it delivered. It got tangled in time travel paradoxes, of course, but that's what's supposed to happen. I'd be disappointed in a time travel book that didn't!
Anna had her moments, and I'm not sure why I didn't her more than I did. I think I got tired of being told what a strong person she was. I rarely felt it.
Joseph was an appropriately obnoxious teenager. I didn't like him much, but I wasn't supposed to. I was sympathetic to his situation.
I wish Madigan (the dog) had more of a role. I wish there had been a bit more grey and a bit less black and white. I wish it'd just had a little more of whatever it was that was missing.
It wasn't a bad read, but it could have been better."
"Not nearly as good as I thought it should be.Had a mysterious time travel part to it- to Ireland- thought that was cool, but the story was adolescent. Was led to believe that there was a dog as a main character. There wasn't. The whole story was kind of a let down."
"I was so disappointed in this book that I didn't finish it. Pity, because her first book (Lost & Found) is among my very favorites. She lost me with the silly time travel stuff."
