Summary: Love and timing
Review: "The Journey" by Terry Elton is an enjoyable read! It takes you to well defined places in time and the characters are developed in a realistic manner.
The idea of two souls/personalities meeting and re-meeting in different centuries has been done before - but the subject is handled differently here and is very engrossing.
The pace is quick and the premise plausible.
The only difficulty I had with the time travel was in the New York present/past part when they flipped back and forth.
As I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction - I decided to suspend belief and just get into the story.... which was easy to do!
Terry has left off with the unwritten promise of a sequel.
I'm looking forward to reading it!

Summary: Love across the ages
Review: A new twist to romance that kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next. After the first few pages I was hooked into trying to figure out what mysteries were going to be uncovered, and what our two ill-fated lovers were going to do. It was a remarkable blend of romance, history, and mystery.

Summary: The Journey
Review: A very interesting story that will satisfy the appetites of readers who like a romance with a twist of mystery or a mystery with a twist of romance.
After the third or fourth page I was hooked and finished this refreshingly interesting story that uses some history to bring the characters and their surroundings to life, in one sitting. My apologies to the author for passing it on to 3 other readers, all who have enjoyed it very much.

Summary: Terry Elton - The Journey
Review: Excellent storytelling! The best read I've enjoyed for quite some time. Two people meet on a plane to NY, then decide to spend a bit of time together. It turns out to be a couple hundred years as they are swept back into colonial New York, where their bodies are inhabited by a tragic couple who, even in death, keep searching for each other. Using the present day couple's bodies, they are able to return to find and deal with those who had been responsible for their tragic endings. But the story isn't nearly that simple. It is light and romantic, dark and tragic, clear and mysterious, with more than one twist, leading to a conclusion which is satisfying, yet leaves us wanting to know more. The tale also takes us to 1760's London, to recognizable landmarks still existent in New York, and north to Indian villages. This book is in the tradition of Jack Finney, but set a century earlier, and while not strictly a time travel tale, will satisfy readers of romance, mystery, time travel, and historical fiction.

Summary: A "must read" for Romantics and History buffs
Review: One Sunday evening with nothing to do I picked up The Journey, thinking I'd read for a couple of hours. At 3:00 Monday morning I finished it. I haven't done that for 20 years! The story was captivating, to say the least. There's romance, mystery and a good deal of history that was magnificently woven through page after page. I know there's another novel tripping through this author's mind, even as I speak, and I want the first copy off the presses!

Summary: "The Journey" 4/7/02
Review: This book is a wonderful trip back to another world with historical facts and facinating descriptions of what life was like two hundred years ago. Filled with mystery and that special love two people can have for one another that even time cannot erase. Have you ever dreamed of going back in time and fixing all of those things that went wrong?The Journey is compelling from the opening page to the last page as it takes you through the twists and turns of time and leaves you counting the days until Mr. Elton's next book is off the press.

Summary: The Book That Has Everthing
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. There is something in it for everybody. It has Love, Mystery, History, Happiness and Sadness.
It was very well written and easy to read. Once I picked it up I could not stop reading it until I was finished and then read it all over again. Now I can't wait until a part two is published. I know it will be just as interesting as part one, and I want to be one of the first ones in line to get it.
