review 1: This book was one of those books that can really change a person. I read these a few years back and fell in love with it. I didn't want to put it down because I loved the characters so much that I didn't want to lose them. When misfortune hit the characters, I felt my own heart ache for their misery. Not only were the characters fantastic but the ideas that set up the setting were even more astonding. Previously, I never read Science Fiction, in fact I passionately hated that genre until I read this book. Paul McCusker truely made time travel seem possible by twisting it to explain changes in people after near death experiences.
review 2: Elizabeth tires of being embarrassed by her parents and plans to run away with her best friend Jeff. Jeff however doesn’t ... morethink running away is a good idea and plans on talking Elizabeth out of it. As Jeff is contemplating how to talk Elizabeth out of running away, Elizabeth goes home and takes a bath to relax and think through her plans. She is startled by a feeling of being grabbed and pulled under the water, and the bath water turns a murky brown. Next thing she knows, the bath tub is bone dry and her surroundings look different. Elizabeth eventually discovers she was somehow transferred to an alternative time in which she is known as Sarah. She also comes to realize her idea of running away was a terrible one, and all she wants is to get back to the family she loves and her best friend Jeff.This science fiction suspense story is a great one that will have an “effect” on all who read it. It was written for a teen audience, and I would caution that the reader should be old enough to understand the concept of a storyline that switches back and forth between the current time period and an alternative time. It was a fast-paced read that had me wanting to not stop reading because of how each chapter left me hanging. I originally was not a big fan of science fiction, but this story had a positive “effect” on me and changed the way I now view science fiction. I look forward to the next book in this series, Out of Time. less
