A review by bookpossum
From Time to Time by Jack Finney
3.0
I certainly didn't enjoy this as much as Finney's first book with protagonist Simon Morley and his ability to time-travel. In this one I felt there was too much padding - for example, when Si goes to a play and we get a blow by blow description of the whole play.
Also, I was astonished that a New Yorker would not immediately recognise the description of a building like the prow of a great stone ship as being the Flatiron Building. Perhaps people just don't know the photographs of Edward Steichen, which include a wonderful image of that building.
