Rating: Summary: This Is A Great Book!!!!!!! Review: I bought this book at a garage sale earlier in the year and I just figured it would be a 'scary' book (I'm an avid fan of Stephen King, John Saul, etc.) As I started reading it, I began to think that I wouldn't like it....set in 2070, the main character is 'connected' to a girl from 1970 who was brutally murdered. At first, I didn't like the fact that it was set so far into the future. I figured from reading the cover that it was recent time and that 100 years before that the murder occurred. I got over that fact quickly when I began to see what was unfolding before my eyes! I couldn't put this book down! [Ask my boyfriend! I was up all night last night, under the covers with my flashlight finishing the book! :)]I don't want to spoil this book for anyone so I won't divulge any secrets but I just want to say that this is a GREAT READ and that I will keep this in my collection for sure! And if I might make another recommendation, if you LOVE this book then you must read "The Mirror" by Marlys Millhiser! These two books are my favorites now!

Rating: Summary: Changed my mind Review: I changed my mind about this book while in the midst of reading it which doesn't happen to me very often.
At first I wasn't thrilled about it although I thought it had an interesting premise.
There were 2 reasons for this.
The first is that to me the heroine Jenna was not very likable.
She started out the book as a shallow , popularity obsessed, self centered teenager who treated her only true friend badly because she more or less though she'd ruin her chances of getting noticed by the in crowd at school.I couldn't relate to Jenna.
The second was I had problems with the futuristic storyline.
For some reason it seemed forced and unnatural to me.
However about 4 chapters into the book , both things started to change.
Little by little Jenna started to evolve into a wonderful person.And I got more used to the storyline.
The story is pretty original.I know there are a lot of time travel books around, but this one was different from any that I had read.It has some twists and angles which gave it that unusual flair.
The suspense of the last few chapters had my heart pounding.
I admit that I didn't see the big shock at the end coming.
I read it in one day and it was an enjoyable way to pass the afternoon.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Read... Review: I happened to pick this book up and am extremely please that I did. The Author was extremely thoughtful and imaginative for this book. I have read it many times and will eventually give it to my children to read. It is no wonder that this book was excellent, the writing talent is in her family.

Rating: Summary: A great mystery Review: I remember back when I read this book, it was nothing that I had anticipated it to be. I used to read mystery novels all the time from Lois Duncan and Caroline B Cooney and Joan whatever her name was etc. etc. But there was definately something special about this mystery, and I have to say it was one of the best I have ever read, because not only did it keep me up all night unable to put it down, but it really made me think. I think it's sad that this book is out of print. If Leslie Rule or her publishers read this, please try to get this book out there again! It's a GREAT read that shouldn't be missed. And Ms. Rule, I hope you write some more books someday, you definately have a gift!
Rating: Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH! Review: I think that this was a really great book. It was very suspenseful and it wasn't one of those books where you can guess the ending easily. The futuristic theme also makes it really interesting. I couldn't put it down.
