I did enjoy this book but it moved rather quickly and then stopped and kinda dragged. The beginning happened so fast that I didn't even realize that he went back in time. I wish that part was more clear of how they did it. They just did!

I like the idea that they could go back in time and witness the past. I also loved that it was set in NYC because that is where I work and live so I knew of most of the places he spoke about. I also loved that it was illustrated letting the reader really picture what he "saw".

The book was simply OK. Many people loved it and maybe I just didn't get it but I didn't feel that it was all that great. It was definitely interesting but that is all. The characters had no real depth. I do, however, recommend this book to those who like to read about NYC history and time travel.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays as I know I did and with this crazy weather we are having here in NYC (18+ inches of blizzard snow!) it took me some time to post this but belated is better than nothing at all!

My kids had a great time and of course they got many books from Santa: Mickey Mouse, Dora the Explorer, and lots of Thomas the Tank books! I really don't get gifts anymore but my husband gave me the iPhone 4 (which I was supposed to get in October for my b-day but whatever...) but that is pretty much it. I got socks and some coffee and wine from Mom. It's all about the kiddies now!

Since we got all this crazy snow I was hoping to bring my girls out but because we live on a peninsula, it was way too windy! It always happens like that and then I feel like a terrible parent but that's just the way it is.

I hope everyone enjoyed it and for those of you who got hit with this crazy storm, I hope it all melts soon and that it doesn't snow until next year!!!
