A lover's weekend becomes somewhat confusing when Jamie Stanner and his fianc�e finds themselves in the past and caught up in an assassination of President Theodore Roosevelt at the Mountain House in the Shawangunk Mountains, New York State.

This book has an interesting premise but the author manages to spoil it with some of the most jarring dialogue I have ever read. The speech in the present day is relatively normal and does not pose a problem, but the moment that Reed's characters go back into the past, the language reaches new levels. Reed seems to think that at the start of the twentieth century, people spoke in long, complicated sentences in the most formal, posh language available, even to their wives. It jarred, and will bother any reader, because everyone knows that people did not really speak in such a manner. It is a pity, as the book is interesting, but if the main language is at fault, then it is hard to continue reading the book.

Other than that, the plot works and Reed develops the ideas of time-slips, reincarnation and other such time travelling ideas. It is quite long, but this would not be a problem, were it not for the language. If you can get past this large obstacle, there is a reasonable book within. However, it will be very difficult.
