An Old Book Release From 1979- A Gem!

[Linda B.D.]

Unknown gem: all 5 stars on Amazon. IMPORTANT: Movie title is different than book title:"The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan" is the movie. Movie DVD thru amazon ( A keeper). I have read many time travel books & given several reviews on each. This is by far, is my favorite. Read the book & watched the movie. I had to order the movie (DVD) dated 1979 and most importantly: it was renamed, " The Two Worlds Of Jennie Logan". Book title was, " Second Sight by Williams". Why did they have to make it confusing? They have just recently brought it back in new print! I am so glad I ordered the movie! The main character was Lindsay Wagner and she was wonderful. This begins with a married woman finding an old wedding dress in the attic. When she puts the dress on, she is taken back in time. Of Course, there is another man in the past. I will not say more about details. I don't want to ruin it for you. There is a very dramatic twist at the end. I really wasn't expecting this ending, but it was great. This book, plus movie are keepers on my shelf. This is not like the newer time travel books. Although, not old fashioned- it just has a special sense about it that is fascinating! In the LAST 5 minutes of the movie, you cannot imagine anything going right. Then, there is a wonderful unforeseen twist. You will not be disappointed in the book or movie. I don't know how they got all this in just 224 pages- I would definitely buy the movie. The ONLY place I could find it was Amazon, although Alibris may have it. The book is now in NEW PRINT! I got the movie only because there is no possible way they could show all the deep emotions in a book. It is coming back-which is great! The movie may be a bit more pricey, but it's a keeper! The two titles are confusing! I don't know why they changed the title (mistake). So, you have to look up each one :one under books & the other under movies. Again: I recommend the DVD or read the book first, then the DVD is a MUST. The movie shows more feelings & details. I know it is usually the other way around: books are better...not this time. Truly, an old gem!

Will be checking out both the book and the movie from my library.While looking at the info at IMDb,I also found out about For All Time(2000)-Mark Harmon,Mary McDonnell [Remake of Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby (1960)] which unfortunately is not on DVD,but it is on You tube If you do a search for "For all Time Mark Harmon" you should be able to find it. It is in 9 parts but the whole movie is there. The quality is pretty good.
Anyway, thanks for the info about The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan,and the book.

Wow, this is a fascinating comment, because I always find books are much better at explaining what is going on inside someone's head and in their emotions than the movie can ever demonstrate-which is why I always prefer to read book before i see movie.

You definitely have my interest peaked.
