I have been really interested in time-travel novels for a while now. I think my love for them materialized when I read Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, and it’s continued to be well fed through other great novels such as The Time Traveler’s Wife (Niffenegger) and Always a Witch (MacCullough). There is just something about time travel that fascinates me, and I must say that Alex Charles: The Evening Oak didn’t disappoint. It is obvious that Reynolds poured a lot of love and care into both her resear...more
I love books about time travel. Even more, I love books about time travel that are written extremely well. Alex Charles: The Evening Oak is most definitely one of those books! I loved learning about the oh, so serious Alex, her fun-loving uncle, and the secret family business that up until recently, Alex had no idea even existed.
I love the main character Alex! She is a girl you feel for right from the beginning. We meet Alex during a very tough time in her life. She is still dealing with the emo...more

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway. I am so happy I did. This book always had me wanting to stay up late to read more to figure out what would happen next.

When I began this book, I didn't know it was a young adult book. I really enjoyed the book's concept as time travel for the betterment of deserving people. Ms. Reynolds is a fine writer and this is the first book in a new series. Bravo Kim on your first book. . .

A wonderful book by first time author Kim Reynolds. This is the first in an 8 part series and after reading this I can't wait to get my hands on the second one.
This is a beautiful book for young adult readers. The first part of the book is the set up for the whole story and was a little slow but kept my interest. Ms. Reynolds truly excels weaving the story of Joe's first travel. You can tell how much she loves the history! Looking forward to the next installment.

This was just great! The next book of this series is out in paperback. Can't wait to read it!!
Wow, no one has rated this book since July 2012! I don't know if it is worth 3 stars, but it might be too harsh to give it 2. So I would say it is a 2.5 star book. The story was okay, but for me some parts were poorly written.
