Discuss Regarding Books Running Out of Time

This book reminded me a lot of an M. Night Shyamalan movie which I won't name, just in case someone thinks I would be giving away too much of the book's plot. The storylines are kind of similar, but I think that I like the plot twist in this book better than the movie.

I've heard it said that you should avoid cultural references as a writer because they make your work seem dated. That's true of "Running out of Time," but also pretty much unavoidable: The point of the book is throwing a character from the 1800's into modern time, and the time described - in terms of fashion, entertainment, and technology - is very much 1996, and will never seem present-day again. This gives the story a "modern vintage" feel that readers may or may not appreciate.I picked up

3.5 stars. I think a younger reader would appreciate it more than I did, though I did find parts compelling. Also I hope M. Night Shyamalan has acknowledged that his movie The Village clearly drew inspiration from this book.

This book was DOOOOPE if I remember correctly from childhood.

Interesting book, and I can see why people thought the movie "The Village" was based on this. I do wish there'd been a bit more information about what exactly was happening legal-wise with the parents and such at the end. But this is told from Jessie's view only, and it makes sense that we only know what she is told.



I read this so many times in junior high, so you know that means it is good!
