Customer Reviews

The One True Master
Jack Finney is simply amazing. His short stories are poignant, prophetic, intelligent, and scary. He accomplishes all this in sometimes only a handful of pages. "I'm Scared" is still to this day more unnerving than most horror films. I still get goose-bumps reading it and pondering the reality of that small story.

Every story is great, yet each seems better than the last. The simple fact is that the more often you re-read them the more depth they tend to have.

I find his stories to be some of the most important sci-fi I have ever read. He is indispensable to any fan of the genre. he is also a must read for anyone who longs for the past.

TIME TRAVEL BY A MASTER
Jack Finney is one of the great writers of time travel stories. His stories were used often on "Twilight Zone" (the original)series. His style of writing is very easy to read but has so much depth and life to them. One story in the book is about some unusual citizens who have "modern" inventions that baffle their new neighbors. A lot of the stories have characters that hunger for more "nostalgic" times and remain wistful in nature. I highly recommend this book.

Fun stories
The story stories are fun and sometimes cute, it is a relaxing book to read.
