Customer Reviews

A Great Read!

A Circle of Time by Marisa Montes is an excellent book for young readers. I think that females might like it more than males. This is a story of time travel that shows the struggle of two young girls to survive during different time periods. Somehow, the two girls become connected as Melissa tries desperately to change history and save Becky's life in order to save her own future life. This book has a little bit of history, a little bit of romance and a lot of excitement. I like time travel stories and this one was an excellent blending of two worlds. This book is exciting right to the end. I highly recommend this book to young readers.

A Great Tear Jerker

This book was very touching to me. At first it started out boring and a little confusing, but overall the book is great. If you are really sensitive, you will cry at the end.

For Sci Fi Fans And Non Sci Fi Fans Alike

This book is a magnificent piece of art. The plot was so intricately woven together and all problems resolved together in the end. Everyone should read this book, it's not very sci fi so don't miss out just because you don't like that type of stuff. Personally, I never like science fiction time travel, but I might be more willing to try other time travel books now that I have read this GREAT book.

a circle of time

This book was SOOOOOOO good. I recommend it to everyone. even if you don't like time travel and that kind of stuff, it's still a really good book. Everything ties in together at the end, and it keeps you guessing the whole way through. The plot is really interesting, and I couldn't put it down- I read it in about two hours, so always have a lot of time when you feel like reading this book. It always helps to re-read it-- you get the extra details and it's even more enthralling. This book is perfect for anyone who loves a good mystery, probably ages 10+.

This is a WONDERFUL book; read it!

I absolutely loved this book! There were SO many things happening that I didn't expect, but was thrilled to find out just the same! I read the entire book in one sitting because it was so good. I HIGHLY reccomend it, even if your not into sci-fi/time travel stuff, because it really wasn't very "out there"; perfect for ALL readers!
