Publisher's summary
Science fiction, mystery, a passionate love story, and a detailed history of old New York blend together in this spellbinding story of a young man embroiled in a secret government experiment. Transported from the mid-1900s to the New York of 1882, Si Morley solves a mystery of the 20th century by discovering its 19th-century roots, and falls desperately in love with a beautiful young woman in the process. He ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past. This is the classic novel that has captivated an entire generation since its original publication in 1970.

The long-awaited sequel to Time and Again . Si Morley is back and the world may never be the same. When Time and Again was published in 1970, it immediately developed a loyal following that has grown with each passing year. With this book, Jack Finney returned to the same magical territory and finds Ruben Prien still at work with the Project, still dreaming of altering man's fate by going back in time to adjust events... to interfere, some might say, with destiny.

Story
About Time offers a delightful return to the world of time travel and light comedy that distinguished Jack Finney’s all-time classic Time and Again. The protagonists of these 12 stories are well-meaning but at odds with their surroundings and their lives. The time to which they escape - through time travel - doesn’t always fulfill their expectations in the way they had hoped, but sometimes, they can still find their dreams.

Story
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Milo Andret is born with an unusual mind. A lonely child growing up in the woods of Northern Michigan in the 1950s, he gives little thought to his own talent. But with his acceptance at UC Berkeley, he realizes the extent - and the risks - of his singular gifts.

The research he begins there will make him a legend; the woman he meets there - and the rival he meets alongside her - will haunt him for the rest of his life.

Almost everybody who has grown up in Chicago knows about the Thorne Rooms. Housed in the Children’s Galleries of the Chicago Art Institute, they are a collection of 68 exquisitely crafted miniature rooms made in the 1930s by Mrs. James Ward Thorne. Each of the 68 rooms is designed in the style of a different historic period, and every detail is perfect, from the knobs on the doors to the candles in the candlesticks. Some might even say, the rooms are magic....

Story
You probably haven't noticed them. But they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters.

I've always enjoyed Time Travel books...
I've always really enjoyed Time Travel premises for books and really enjoyed this whole book! I was quite surprised to find out what the promise at the end was, and how the main character carried it out. I also enjoyed the ending...

Perfect story matched with a perfect Narrator
Just as the ability and range of the actor can bring a play to life, so is the vocal range and intonations of the narrator of an audible book. "Time and Again" is very entertaining. I could have read it and been completely captivated by it. But, Campbell Scott's narration had me mezmerized. No other way to describe it. The comdination of the book and narration was excellent!

Really enjoyed it!
I heard about this book from Stephen King’s author notes, and listened to it after the Stephen King’s recommendation.
It is a fantastic time travel love story. It gets the listener really thinking about what if you could go back in time? Where would you go? What happens if you meet someone special there? Highly recommend this abridged version of the novel.

Abridged a mistake
There is so much more to this book. Abridging it is a major disservice. I can't recommend it for that reason.

I loved it!
The other customer reviews were so eloquent, that I can not add anything to them. But like the other reviewers -- I loved this book! The author, the narrator, the little touches of periodic background sound. It was utterly absorbing and entertaining and thought-provoking. I wish Campbell Scott would narrate more -- he is fabulous.

Abridged or Unabridged - That is the question
The description says "Unabridged", but the closing credits said "Abridged". Now I have to read the book to find out if I missed anything! There were some transitions that seemed a bit awkward, but not enough to give one pause.
Good story that ended too soon, and on a possible paradox, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Not the best narrator I have ever listened to, but better than the sample of the other version of the same book. That voice was too deep and monotone.

Best book EVER
I lived in NYC for 15 years. A friend bought this book for me and said that everyone was reading it. It changed how I looked at the city. I would walk in Central Park and I could see it in the 1800. The story is gripping and sadly, in the Audio version you miss the beautiful old photos.( I do have the paperback as well because of that) I wish I could travel back in time as well. I think that NYC would be my destination too. I have lent this book to many people. I have also bought it as a gift to some. This one will be in my library forever. And the fact that it takes place in the Dakota building is of course a plus. I think all in all I have read this book 4 times and listened to it once. This will be the second time.

What a tranporting book!
I've never read this book before, and listening makes me want to go get the printed copy and add it to my library! This was very imaginative and caught my attention until the end. I had a hard time putting it down! I loved the characters and how they interacted with each other. I also really enjoyed the fact that there wasn't alot of bad language interspersed in the book. This is an all around magical book, that will transport you to another time! Enjoy!
