Great story! I love historical fiction and the inclusion of the history of ancient Egypt adds a lot to an already fascinating time travel tale. Of the four books I think I like the 1st and 4th ones best. The character Camilla in this story really resonates with me (as we have something big in common: being 6 ft. tall). I know her pain, and I truly rejoiced for her later happiness.
I also love that there are good and honorable people in this book. Some of the others have really made you More...

I adore the Time Travel Quartet by Caroline B. Cooney. I've been looking for this last book for about a year and a half now and finally discovered it at a library book sale for fifty cents. What a steal for a day's worth of borderline-trashy teen entertainment! The very end of the book was a bit of a disappointment, but I think I'll live. Totally worth my effort.

Part of a series concerning the time bending duo: contemporary teen, Annie Lockwood, and her true love, Strat. This novel combines time travel with 19th Century Egyptian archaeology with 2000 B.C. Egyptian culture and life with 19th Century robber baron ethics (or lack thereof). The story is an adventure romance. The female protagonist travels back to the 19th Century to find the boy she left behind after an earlier adventure. Meanwhile, the boy works on an archaeological dig in Egypt anony

Everything was good in the beginning, with great build up, and I liked the new characters and happy happy but the end WAS TERRIBLE...it was so completely pointless and I was indescribably UNhappy. It was almost like I wanted to undo reading the first one because, like I said, POINTLESS

Probably would of liked it better if I had read the first three in the series but because it was on the shelf when I wanted a quick read - I read it before I discovered it was the 4th and last in a series.
That said, it tells the story of 2 people falling in and out of time and how their lives and loves are connected.
I think it is meant to be a YA book, heavy on romance and not really anywhere close to a 'science' fiction book abt time.
All in all - a good read for someone young More...

I liked the style of this one better as if covered a multitude of characters rather than focusing on two and lightly brushing a few others. The ending was disappointing in the sense that I wanted a particular ending - but *shrug* that's the author's story and even though it makes me sad, sometimes the unexpected ending is good enough.

Annie tries to rejoin Strat in 1899, but winds up in Ancient Egypt instead. Strat is a photographer for a dig in Egypt, and discovers a mysterious tomb. Strat must escape the clutches of his evil father and join Annie in Ancient Egypt before she is sacrificed. Will time ever allow the two lovers to be together?

I am upset to learn that this was the 4th and final book in the series. I didn't realize that when I picked it up at the library. I do want to go back and and read the first three books though, after I finish the pile of books that I picked up from the library the past few days.

This book was pretty decent until the very end. I was very disappointed with the "realistic" ending, when the whole series is very UN-realistic. I'd recommend reading all 4 in the series, but don't hold your hopes too high for this one!

For a series that started out so great this one just went downhill for me. The 3rd one started the downward spiral but this one just seemed all over the place and ended weird. Oh well.

Not the satisfying ending I imagined for this series, but good writing all the same.

It was ok. The ending didn't make sense and wasn't very satisfying.

It was good! It was confusing on who was where, when, but other than that it was good!

Good story line, a little different format from the others in the series, so it took a little to get used to at first. Not quite what I expected, thus the 3 stars instead of 4. The ending did leave me thinking for a while, there are a few ways it could have been interpreted.

It wasn't my favorite in the series. I can't fault her for the way she ended the book, but I must admit I was a little disappointed with the ending. That's probably because I'm an incurable romantic though. It was a decent book though, and I did enjoy it.

Picked this up because I couldn't just read 3 out of 4 books in a series and stop. Well I should have. It wasn't nearly as charming as the other three and the plot seemed to be all over the place. Still good for some nostalgic middle schoolish reading though.

This romance continues, and it is just as good! I enjoyed reading these books. They are all very intriguing. Imagine if time really worked like that....it would be kinda cool.

This was a very good series. Kind of reminds me of the idea behind the Time Travelers Wife (eventhough I have never saw the movie or read the book). It just seems obvious.

For all time is the last book in this great series. If you read the fist three you MUST read this one. This is where it all comes together, and trust me, you can't miss it.
