Timeless Love Judith O'Brien Books Reviews

At first I wasn't sure of it because of it starting out with a 16 year old. But I loved how her helping the king changed the future and having to go back and leave things well enough alone. Then to have Barnaby with her at the end. I absolutely loved it. I also loved the historical facts about the life back then and in the end the history about everybody. Very well written . Can't say enough.
...I personally thoudht it was excellent. Sam, a girl from present times highlights and perms her hair in the beginning. She looks horrible so her friend, brother, and her go to the store to see what they have to fix her hair. A shopping buggy crashes into her dad's BMW. That night she holds the silver necklece her mom gave her, and is transported to 1553 when the young kind Edward ruled England. He expects her and thinks shr is an angel. She meets his cousin Jane and likes her. Sam realizes that the reason that the king is about to die is that he has allergies. That is when her stay at court begins..
I was so engrossed. I started yesterday and finished today. I could see them dancing, talking, flurting, and arguing right in front of me. It was so vivid.
Sam made a wish and it came true, now, she's in 1553. You are with her as she learns to acclimate to her new environment and the people around her. You feel her passion, and confusion and her sense of not belonging. But you are with her as she overcomes it all.
Like I said, I couldn't put it down. You might also want to try reading the Out of Time series by Caroline B. Cooney. Kind of the same picture. You will love them!
When Sam is thrust back in time by a magical charm after wrecking her dad's precious BMW, she finds herself in the middle of the court of the Tudors. She herself is a close "advisor" of Edward VI! The book documents her trip through time and its effect on the world.
I love history and romance, so I thought I would love this book. But it wasn't the greatest I'd ever read. The beginning of her stay in 1553 was dragging by halfway through the book and her emotions were not really shown. One minute she would be hysterical and want to go home, and then the next minute she didn't seem to care. Some parts were detailed while others were vague. Her character was not consistent. Then she only met the guy she was to fall in love with (and my did they fall in love pretty fast) near the end of the book. I guess the idea of how her meddling changed history was interesting, but the end was just plain weird. This book could have been a lot better.
Sixteen-year-old Samantha McKenna has just wrecked her dad's precious new BMW, and she's desperate to escape. Clutching her birthday present, an antique locket, she wishes desperately to escape, and finds herself thrown back in time to England in 1553, to the castle of fifteen-year-old King Edward VI. The sickly Edward thinks Sam is his angel, come to take him to heaven. But with her modern knowledge, Sam brings Edward back from the brink of death. As months go by, Sam begins to adjust to life in the past, although she still longs for a way to return home. Then she meets Barnaby, a handsome nobleman, and falls in love with him. But court life in the sixteenth-century is dangerous, and Sam finds her life, and that of her newfound love, in danger.

I really though I'd love this book, since I enjoy stories with romance, time travel, and history, and this book has all three. However, the romance between Samantha and Barnaby developed too quickly to be very believable, and the ending was unrealistically happy. The book was enjoyable while reading it, but it just needed something more - at the end all I could think was, that's it??I don't think I'd recommend buying it, but it might be worth a read if you can get it at the library.
Sixteen-year-old Samantha McKenna is your average ordinary modern teen. She can't wait to get her driver's license, she's looking forward to having the party she's been having planned, and can't wait to get to meet 'Kevin the Hunk' up close! But when she wrecks her father's precious BMW, she wishes to was anywhere but home. Strangely enough, by chance while holding onto the strange antique charm hung around her neck (an early birthday present), she is magically transported to... England in the year 1553! She meets the sickly Edward VI who is the young king of England. He is her own age, and Sam knows he is supposed to die at about sixteen. Determined to save his life, she does just that. Soon, the sick king is back to full health and everything seems to go beautifully. But as Sam thinks about returning back to her time, she is swept into the middle of a dangerous situation where her life might be at stake...
First off, I must say that I love all stories about history and romance. Judith O'Brien is a terrific writer and after reading the book it was most obvious she had done her research well. The descriptions are vividly written down, life back in the 1550s was certainly not all about beautiful parties and great adventures. The food, the hygiene, the clothes, etc., everything is made into a reality in the story as Sam struggles in extreme 'culture shock'.
The characters are on the whole likable. Sam is a bit too ordinary and is nobody really special. An 'ok' main character though she could have been made a bit more interesting. Historical characters such as Edward VI and Jane Grey are pretty well developed, and I especially loved Princess Elizabeth (soon-to-be the wonderful Queen Elizabeth!). The Duke of Northumberland is a 'good' bad guy. Barnaby Fitzpatrick is unfortunately not a character who went through good character development. By the end of the book, we really didn't know anything about his personality or anything.
Which brings me to have to explain the reason for my giving only 3 stars for "Timeless Love". For once thing, as I said earlier, both Sam and Barnaby were... I don't know, they just felt flat and one dimensional. I just really couldn't relate to them as much as I would like to with the main characters of a story. And as it is hinted in the title, I can't really classify this as a real 'romance' story since Sam doesn't even meet Barnaby till like your a little more than half way through he book. So the little romance there is feels a bit rushed. Also, it's a bit strange and doesn't fit in with the rest of the story, plus it is too unbelievable.
All in all, the story is not that bad. A great book for some light reading, best for teens maybe 14 or older.
Still one of my favorite books a “Timeless” classic at least to me
