Helpful Score: 2
I very, very seldom like a movie better than a book, but this was one of those times. I recommend it only to those who really loved the movie and want to see how the story started out. My advice: skim the first half to three quarters of the book, until he meets Elise, then settle down for the read.
Somewhere in Time is the powerful story of a love that transcends time and space, written by one of the Grand Masters of modern fantasy.Matheson's classic novel tells the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose love for a woman he has never met draws him back in time to a luxury hotel in San Diego in 1896, where he finds his soul mate in the form of a celebrated actress of the previous century.
I like the premise of the book, but the book itself was a very slow and sometimes boring read to me.
