Summary: It's impossible not to get caught up in the characters.
Review: Just when you think you've identified with Shay, the granddaughter, you begin to read about Brandy, the Grandmother. Switching places in time with your own grandmother. Which girl has the more difficult adjustment? And then there's that boyfriend...hmm. I've lost count of how many times I've read this book over the last 20 years. It's still my all time favorite. Time being the optimum word here.

Summary: One of my two favorite books.
Review: If you read it once, you'll want to read it again. I checked it out of the library over and over and tried to buy it from them, but it was their only copy. A friend had a book search done for it and found a hardcover copy, bought it and gave it to me - best present I ever got. It's a wonderful story of Shay Garrett, who is transported into her grandmother's life in Boulder and Nederland, CO. (By the way, her grandmother is also transported into her life.) You'll never forget it.

Summary: Worth reading and re-reading
Review: This book remains one of my very favorites. Love, sex, romance, danger, time travel, death .... it has it all and I think it is a very well told tale. I was enchanted at the idea of young Shay exchanging bodies with her grandmother and then living out her grandmother's life. (You have to read to understand) I thought the author did a most excellent job of telling the tale from the two characters points of view when they were thrust into a total foreign (to them) world.

Summary: Still a favorite after all these years
Review: I have a hard back copy (original edition) of this book that I read many years ago (let's not get into the whole age thing here) and I fell in love with the story and the characters. It's still one of my favorite books and, believe me, I've read a LOT of books since this one! Pick up a copy and give it a try - you won't be disappointed if you like time travel and great characters!!

Summary: One Of The Best!
Review: I came across THE MIRROR by sheer luck at a used bookstore. I picked up the book, looked at the title, and thought that it sounded interesting. By the time I finished the book, I felt that I had experienced that unique feeling that you get when you become one with a book. There was absolutely nothing to dislike. I did what everyone who has read it does, I passed it to others to read, and eventually, lost the book. I was thrilled to see it back in print and hope others will enjoy it as much as I have. It is a book that every woman should read, and even if it means losing it, share it with your daughter, mother or a friend.

Summary: the mirror

Summary: WOW - loved it, but hated the ending.....
Review: I am a slow reader, I like to soak in all the words and situations of a book. But this book was different for me, I read it in 8 days. (very impressive) I was glued to the perils of Shay and her fight to get back to the correct time, and her family. I cheered her on to get that damn mirror to work for her, but it never did. The ending was so upseting for me. I wanted a happy ending, instead I got more of a reality hit. The book was great - but where is my happy ending?

Summary: Excellent Book, Very Touching
Review: I recently discovered this book through a friend of mine. She told me how wonderful it was so I decided to pick it up even thought the cover was old and dirty and the description on the back seemed really cheesy 70's-horror. It was an excellent book! It was touching, uplifting, sad, and horrifying all at the same time. I was desperate to know what happened at the end. I couldn't put it down until I got to the last page! I'm glad I didn't judge this book by it's cover.

Summary: A Fun Read
Review: There is an overabundance of adjectives and the writing is disjointed in spots - several times I found myself going back and checking the last page to see if I had inadvertantly turned two pages - but the characters are so well drawn it's hard to put the book down. You will care about them and where they are going. On the evening of her wedding Shay is thrown back in time to change places with her Grandmother Brandy, also on the evening of her wedding. A seventy-five year jump for Shay back to 1900 Boulder, Colorado. Three quarters of the book follow the adventures of Shay - now known as Brandy - as she ages through the years. This is the better written and most interesting part of the book. The last section is the story of Brandy - now known as Shay - as she adapts to the casual sex and mode of dress in the 1970s. The author does a nice job making you feel how it is for Shay and Brandy to deal with the manners of a different time and lifestyle. The mirror of the title is the agent of the exchange and dips in and out of the story now and then. The origin of the mirror is never made clear but the mirror is not the story, the damage it does is the story. If you like the fun of time travel stories I would say you will not be disappointed.

Summary: One of the best....
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. My mother gave me the book to read during a trip for school. I just finished it and I would have to say that it left me spellbound. I want to read it again, right away, but my mom wants to read it, since she forgot what it was about. Shay and Brandy have the most interesting stories. If you have a chance to get this book, you better get it right away! :) Out of a score of 10, this book is an 11!
