Summary: From back of book
Comment: The Third Reich tightened its grip on the German people- and Karl Erlich watched with horror and disbelief as his beloved twin brother Kurt grasped Hitler's madness and made it his own.

Time No Longer follows the strange fate of the Erlich brothers- their wives, their family, their country- in the nightmare days of the Nazi's rise to power.

Summary: Yikes
Comment: I won't be quite as scathing as the previous reviewer, but I can't recommend TIME NO LONGER either. The story starts out deliciously campy-in pre-WWII Germany, Karl's adopted Jewish brother, Eric, is killed escaping from the Nazis that Karl's jealous twin, Kurt, sent after him. Eric leaves behind a number of African artifacts brought back from a recent trip-including a shrunken head, and what just might be...a voodoo doll. Karl, wishing to avenge Eric's death, takes up these artifacts to use them against Kurt.

I have to admit that after such a truly bizarre beginning, I thought the book might turn out to be a guilty pleasure. But, no such luck. After the over-the-top melodrama at the beginning of the book, the story immediately drops away, and Caldwell launches into a dull, dull diatribe on the loss of innocence or something. Painfully difficult to finish.

Summary: How true ring the words in the title...
Comment: I think that the key words that describe this novel are contained within the title...

Specifically "Time"

(as in 'Far too much to read')

AND

"Longer"

(as in 'Who keeps stuffing pages in this thing while I try to finish reading it?')

The word "No" seems to also fit in there somewhere for whether or not I'd recommend this story to someone else.

The author made an attempt to describe one fictitious account of an extended family's supernatural experiences during a turbulent post World War II time period in Germany. Two brothers are at odds during the story. One mysteriously becomes ill soon after a terrible disagreement between them. The author tries to persuade dear reader to believe that some supernatural element is at work that causes the disintegration of one of the brothers. Caldwell even brings a voodoo doll into the story. Corny, corny, corny...

I give this one eight fingers, two thumbs and ten toes DOWN, dear reader. We can only hope that Caldwell used this story as a practice run and the author's career may have improved some since writing this dismal waste of typewriter ribbon.
