Review:
It's 1984, and Gabriel Prince--travel writer turned time traveller--is explaining to the man who sent him back from 1994 to 1938 why U.S. President Jimmy Carter has just been re-elected for a second term. It's all because an obscure actor named Dutch Reagan-- pronounced "Ree-gan"--died in a swimming accident off Catalina Island long ago. Confused? So is Gabriel, who keeps shuttling back and forth in time to save the life of a woman he's fallen in love with, but who also changes our political and social history in the bargain. Great fun, full of marvellous period details (and actual photographs) of food, clothes, cars, and movies that were made, remade and never made. --Amazon.com
Review:
"Philadelphia Inquirer" Enormously fun. Delacorte's writing has a wonderful read-aloud quality, the plot is spiked with irony and action, and he manages period details perfectly.
