From Time to Time

The Sequel To Time And Again

By: Jack Finney

Narrated by: Campbell Scott

Jack Finney's beloved sequel to his classic, New York Times bestselling illustrated novel Time and Again.

Simon Morley, whose logic-defying trip to the New York City of the 1880s in Time and Again has enchanted readers for twenty-five years, embarks on another trip across the borders of time. This time Reuben Prien at the secret, government-sponsored Project wants Si to leave his home in the 1880s and visit New York in 1912. Si's mission: to protect a man who is traveling across the Atlantic with vital documents that could avert World War I. So one fateful day in 1912, Si finds himself aboard the world's most famous ship...the Titanic.©1995 Jack Finney, All Rights Reserved; (P)1995 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Not as good as

Just as the ability and range of the actor can bring a play to life, so is the vocal range and intonations of the narrator of an audible book. "From Time to Time" was not as direct and compelling as "Time and Again". Perhaps I was already captivated by "Time and Again" and felt that "From Time to Time" fell short. Neverteless, Campbell Scott's narration elevated the listening experience. No other way to describe it. The comdination of the book and narration was quite satisfactory.

The sequels are never as good

Sequel to Time and Again, which was a great book. THis one just didn't have the pizzazz of it's predecessor. In fact, I missed a large section of the book and didn't skip a beat.....

Wished for more

I was distracted at times by the lower quality and I sure would have enjoyed having the entire book rather than an abridged version. I generally don't even look at abridged books but wanted to hear what else was going to happen to Simon and all.
Yes, Time and Again was a much better read.

Abridged! Loses essentials

This and Finney's predecessor story are masterworks. But the abridgment loses essentials of a beautifully intricate plot and character relationships - find the unabridged version. Performance is fine but in service of a story that should not have been offered abridged.

Not the best

What would have made From Time to Time better?

Mistakenly purchased Abridged Version rather than the Unabridged, but I still didn't buy into the time-travel premise or the plot line.
