I yield. I made the mistake of putting it down and starting something else, something better and more interesting. I just couldn't get into this... I thought it took place further back in time. I don't really consider the 1990s historical fiction nor am I interested in what Ireland was going through at the time, the religious war, the terrorism. It simply isn't my time frame of interest.

Misfit The time slip actually goes further back than the 90's, but if it doesn't work it doesn't work. Don't force it.

Tara Chevrestt I did make it that far but I hated the 90s story so much that the past story couldn't make it up. Does that make sense? I didn't like the hero/ IRA guy at all.

joy *the clean-reader extraordinaire* the 90s definitely stunk.

Tara Chevrestt hmph. I'm not getting notifications now. Finally got gr to work on my computer again and suddenly no notifications. Grrrr.

I like 90s music. There is nothing better than 90s music. Course, I could hear better back then. LOL. However, I like to listen to sat radio's Backspin when my hearing aid is cooperative.
