4.0 out of 5 stars Ken Grimwood's earlier time-travel novel., June 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Breakthrough (Hardcover)

I also checked this out from the library after reading Replay, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The basic premise was: A woman suffering from epilepsy has an experimental procedure performed on her in order to help lessen the severity of the seizures. But a strange side effect occurs when she tries it -- she sees through the eyes of another woman. She feels what the woman is feeling. The interesting part was that the woman lived about 100 years ago, she's a prostitute, and she is a maniac. Murder. Intrigue. Time travel. A great twist at the end. This book deserves to be in print. Check your local library.

1.0 out of 5 stars Serious disappointment after "Replay", February 3, 2000

If you enjoyed "Replay" and are considering springing for an overpriced used copy online--as I did--don't. This book's feeble in both its plot and writing style, and will seriously disappoint "Replay" fans.

I read this book because I loved Replay and I thought this one was just okay. The story starting out interesting but I just hated the ending. I felt sorry for the husband and the other good characters and felt let down at the ending. I thought this book would be better than it was. Don't buy the book.
