Out of Time
by Caroline B. Cooney
This is the second book of her trilogy, and again I loved it. I read it through in one night!
At the end of book one, when Annie leaves Strat’s 1880 world to return to her own a century later, she has no idea that he will be charged with insanity because of openly discussing Annie’s time-traveling ability. Now, when she returns, she is the only one who has even a slim chance of rescuing him from the asylum where he is being confined.

Oh dear. This represents a serious drop in quality from its predecessor. Cooney allows the melodrama to totally take over: there are Victorian mental hospitals! And teenage girls struck down by tuberculosis! And dastardly dudes plotting dastardly deeds! With the rapid intercutting between various characters, all of whom are separated from each other for one reason or another, it even reads like a soap opera: short scene-short scene-dramatic sting! Commercial/chapter break.

Despite some major issues (for one, at the end of the previous book Annie was falling backwards through time, and rather than address it at all, Cooney simply ignores that fact and carries on -- this is particularly glaring if one is reading the omnibus edition (The Time Travelers: Volume One)) I did like this better than Both Sides of Time. Maybe I'm just getting used to the 'cheese-i-ness' of the romance, but I kind of enjoyed this one.

In my review of Both Sides of time, it was a report I wrote for my book review project eons ago.
The Time Quartet really got me started on 'Cooney books', which my best friend and I spent hours poring over in excitement.
The second and third book goes on to tell of their love story that happens on and off, with Annie having to go back to the 1900s often. In the last book, Annie falls back too far in time and ends up in Ancient Egypt and at the same time, time beckons STrat to fa More...

Annie Lockwood existed. but only Strat thinks she came from another century. Now Strat is locked up in an insane asylum, Devonny is trapped in her house with Walker Wakley, who helped kidnap Strat, and her parents are in California and don't care. Annie must step back through time to save her friends and the man she loves.

Wow, this book was as engaging as the last one.
I loved it. The book shocked me at moments where my brain did not want to accept what had happened, and so I found it hard to believe it did happen in the story.
Yet, another amazingly told story in this series.
Will definitely continue it.

Although the story itself was good and a lot better streamlined than the first book, it still felt a little flat to me, though I'm not really sure why. I'll definitely read the other two books in the series, but I don't feel that I have to read them right this moment.

What a crappy ending! Is there no century where a girl can finally get a break?!
I actually picked this book up second-hand because it shares a title with a movie I once saw, starring a very young christopher Reeve. Needless to say, not the same story.

I really like this one as well. I even did a book report on it and confused my teacher and most of the class. It was a little strange I would love to be able to find this book again and read it but currently I'm still looking for it.

This book was really great!! But you want to read the first book in the series to fully understand the context of the first few chapters. This book is great for yound adult readers who like romantic historical fiction.

I loved this book when I first read it circa 5th grade. Unfortunately, this did not stand the test of time (pun unintentional). I gave it two stars because its syrupy verboten romance will appeal to tweens.

This sequel was definately good. It was more adventurous than romantic, but just as good as the first, if not a little better

Well-written characters, unexpected elements, not quite believable plots but interesting. Girls will love these.

Not a bad read. A short book. I only wish i had known there were other books and i would have read them first.
