About Time offers a delightful return to the world of time travel and light comedy that distinguished Jack Finney’s all-time classic Time and Again. The protagonists of these 12 stories are well-meaning but at odds with their surroundings and their lives. The time to which they escape - through time travel - doesn’t always fulfill their expectations in the way they had hoped, but sometimes, they can still find their dreams.

I’ve been a Finney fan for years. This collection is excellent & his stories are always well done & thought provoking. There is definitely nostalgia here for days long past, but along with the yearning for a simpler time, there is usually a subtle warning of where we might be headed. This is not whiz bang Star Wars stuff. His Time & Again and Time After Time are well written novels and classics, as is Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Finney always good

These stories were a delightful surprise. Not all about time travel, but all were whimsical and somewhat nostalgic.

Well written and humorous

Not all the stories time travel, some kinda boring, but ok book to pass the time driving or in a waiting room.

Ok read

At the end of each story no matter how tied up it was, I really wanted to know what happen next. I love the writing (very clever), the characters, and the narration. Well done, all the way around. So many different ways to look at "Time" travel. Jack Finney, ever sense I was young has always been one of my favorite writers. The first time I read "Somewhere In Time", I was hooked. Christopher Reeve later in the movie.... be still my racing heart. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was such a little escape for me.

I so enjoyed this book

I love the different approaches to the stories a few were very thought-provoking and interesting wishing they could be true

Extremely thought-provoking

I was happy to stumble onto this collection of short stories by Jack Finney, one of my favorite authors. Finney's storytelling draws you in and makes you believe that time travel, parallel worlds, ghosts and all other possibilities really do exist. Excellent stories and top-notch audio performances. 👍

More good stuff from Jack Finney

Many of these stories use time travel as the vehicle for the same theme: the good old days were better. Since most were written in the 1950s -- today's Plantonic ideal for mythologized good old days -- I came out of this feeling like this very cynical of such revisionist sentimentality. I think it says something rotten about American culture that must stretch back a long way.

The stories are often heavy with saccharine sentimentality and the pacing is awful. At least half of the stories redeem themselves with a quality ending that takes far too long to get to but is worth it when you do. The stand out stories are a Twilight Zone or Poe like story of an unscrupulous pervert who gets his hands on magic baubles and a quasi-horror ghost story which invokes a deep feeling of loss.

Most of the narrations are good. One had the stilted Bill Shatner patter which was hard to listen to. Middling production value. A lot of harsh S noises and similar.

Stillbirth of the American Dream

Bunch of short stories involving time... so like people from the future going into our past because things then are so F'd up that when someone invents a time machine humanity all grabs one for themselves so they can get out before the government has a chance to make it illegal... or someone is walking around a town and sees cable cars where there were once cable cars but are no longer and he can't get anyone to believe him, or criminals discover a physicist working on time travel and volunteer to have him send them into the past where they can't be punished... stuff like that. The first one you read has a magical quality it, but then the 2nd and the 3rd roll by and it starts to get really repetitive

a collection of short stories of mixed quality

I listened to this anthology after finishing Time and Again. For the most part I enjoyed the stories, some more than others. No real clunkers in the batch. Of the 12 stories, three are not related to time travel. The one about noon shop visits was still entertaining though. What got to me were the narrators. I don't know which was which, but two of them had such a halting delivery it got annoying. One of them sounded like a very bad Cary Grant imitation. That was the only negative thing about the title. If you like time travel stories and can put up with the two narrators, then you'll like this title.

Mostly good stories, grating narration
