I love time travel stories, and this one falls incredibly short for me. This was written for a 1970's audience with a 1960's mindset. It doesn't do much for 2010's sensibilities. The themes are very lacking in their strength. The ideas seem a little haphazardly put together. I didn't like the main character, the plot getting up to the time travel was quite boring, the time travel itself was a bit intriguing. The whole motivations for the entire book were a bit suspect at best.

It was enjoyable which is why I gave it 3 stars. It, by far, is not the worst time travel novel I've ever read, but it certainly isn't the best. It's clearly middle of the road.

Grease is the World

One of the best musicals brought to the silver screne. Starring Travolta and Newton John in this take on 1960's high school preps and greasers. The songs are legendary and the story line never has a dull moment in it. The cast is a who's who of actors and actresses in the AFI top 100 movies of all time. If you like musicals then Grease is for you.

This was a nice coming of age story set in post WWII America. It dealt with gender stereotypes but in a very positive manner. I would say I find it hard to believe that there was no homophobia at the time period( I know there was) but the author chose to focus on the girls. I also think pre 1960's being gay wasn't shamed or hated as much. It was really quick read with agood messege about being true to yourself.
