review 1: I think I bought this book for the time travel element during one of the B&N weekend sales. Ken and Melissa have that passionate, soul mate sort of love that most people dream about but never quite achieve. Blissfully happy with their careers and each other, they are engaged to be married when Ken discovers a dark secret in Melissa's past. His love for Melissa prompts him to want to change her past, not realizing that this would change not only her history, but his own as well. So how do you change the future, once you have changed the past? Ken has to figure that out or lose everything. As a fantasy novel, the writing was a little weak, as a story of love...do men like Ken really exist in this world? Overall, it was a pleasant read, probably not a memorable one th... moreough.
review 2: Michael Baron’s Anything presents readers with an interesting question. Would one be willing to do anything for the person he/she loves even if it means giving them up? I experienced mixed feelings with this novel. The writing style is very clear and easy to read. It amazed me at how fast the pages went. However, I really struggled with the main character. To me, Ken came across more as a controlling and selfish man than one in love. I did not like the way he went back into Melissa’s life unbeknownst to her and later changed her past even after she clearly told him not to. Knowing that, I could not empathize with Ken’s struggles to win Melissa back.While the novel started out too slow and then ended too fast, I did really enjoy Baron’s vivid descriptions. He had a way of making everything clearly unfold before my eyes and even made traveling back in time seem normal — or at least plausible. less

Yet another book that had a good premise but ends with a thud.
