Summary: I love this book!!
Review: When I heard of this book, I immediately went to the nearest book store to buy it. It was a story about love in a different era, my favorite kind of book. However upon reading it, I found it dull, and rushed. The book was extremly short to have developed a true romance, especially since the pair don't meet until well into the book. I found the characters to be boring... I couldn't relate to anything with them, I couldn't feel what they were feeling. Even in a moment of peril, my mind was wondering. Another thing is that Edward, believing that she is an angel, reports it to several others, including Jane Grey. Upon questioning she reveals that she came from the future, a different time era. These people accept the fact too willingly. Sure, there is the two paragraphs where Jane is frightened of her, but she accepts her unbelievable story nonetheless. It was completely irrational for someone to do then, even today. The idea is just too preposterous to take lightly. Especially for someone as educated and somber as Jane Grey. The reason I even gave it two stars, is because it accurately tells about the fashion, foods, and hygene standards that existed back in the sixteenth century... even though it takes a minimal amount of research... something a fifth grader could do. The storyline sounds wonderful, but unfortunately, it was written quite poorly. I'd reccomend it for ages 10 and under. Sure, it may be a romance novel, but as far as I'm concerned, the book is too easy to comprehend, and there isn't that much romance at all.

Summary: Timeless Love
Review: When Sam is thrust back in time by a magical charm after wrecking her dad's precious BMW, she finds herself in the middle of the court of the Tudors. She herself is a close "advisor" of Edward VI! The book documents her trip through time and its effect on the world. I love history and romance, so I thought I would love this book. But it wasn't the greatest I'd ever read. The beginning of her stay in 1553 was dragging by halfway through the book and her emotions were not really shown. One minute she would be hysterical and want to go home, and then the next minute she didn't seem to care. Some parts were detailed while others were vague. Her character was not consistent. Then she only met the guy she was to fall in love with (and my did they fall in love pretty fast) near the end of the book. I guess the idea of how her meddling changed history was interesting, but the end was just plain weird. This book could have been a lot better.
