Rembrandt's Bridge starts like a trapdoor opening under your feet. One second Robert is crossing a bridge in Amsterdam, thinking about a girlfriend he’s late to meet, and the next he’s in a world where she looks him dead in the eye and has never met him. That stomach-drop feeling never really lets up, and honestly, I kind of loved that. It’s disorienting in the way a good magic trick is disorienting. You keep checking your pockets for your watch.What hooked me wasn’t just the time travel, which ...

I honestly don't get the hype around "Rembrandt's Bridge" by Nelson K. Foley. I'm usually a sucker for time travel books, but this one just didn't click for me. The premise had potential, but the ending felt completely unresolved. Like, what was even the point of the whole time-hopping adventure? I read "Rembrandt's Bridge" on my Kindle, and it seriously needed a good editor. The sheer number of missing quotation marks, plus the weird way internal thoughts were formatted with quotes, made some s...

Nelson K. Foley's "Rembrandt's Bridge" is a brilliant blend of historical fiction, teleportation, and romance, all unfolding in the captivating city of Amsterdam. Honestly, the title doesn't even hint at the wild ride this story takes you on. The core plot is refreshingly original, grounding the fantastical element of time travel in relatable, human experiences. Our protagonist, Robert, a concert promoter stuck in a crumbling marriage, suddenly finds himself unstuck in time. Each journey throws ...

If you're looking for compelling book reviews, this might not be the most unbiased one, but I hope you'll still consider giving "Rembrandt's Bridge" by Nelson K. Foley a chance.

Honestly, "Rembrandt's Bridge" by Nelson K. Foley isn't a great read. I wouldn't pick up another book by this author. If you're looking for decent book reviews, skip this one.

The writing is solid, and it's clear Nelson K. Foley really knows their stuff. I'm a sucker for time travel stories, and this one offered a fresh twist since the protagonist lands in eras they already know.

And once again, I find myself drawn into a time travel story that's absolutely nothing like what I anticipated, and exactly the kind of read I adore. If you're looking for a unique time travel book, Nelson K. Foley's "Rembrandt's Bridge" might be your next favorite read.

This book is well-written, and the author, Nelson K. Foley, seems very knowledgeable about the times and places he describes. I enjoy time travel books, and "Rembrandt's Bridge" was a bit different from most I've read. The main character lands in periods he's still pretty familiar with, so there's not much culture shock. It varies from just three years earlier to the end of WWII. Eventually, there's a brief period some 200 years earlier, but always at a time of significant historical impact. It ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2021Immobilized in hospital for over a month, I was desperate for something unreal to distract me, and was sent this novel, Rembrandt's Bridge. The author’s name intrigued me as they are family names, so I made a start. Most time travel novels that I have read have been too far fetched, but this one resonated with my life. I travel virtually with an online company, and was hugely supported in hospital by the guide from Amsterdam. He too ran several b...

His romantic life is equally complicated, juggling his wife Belinda, who disapproves of the art business, and his mistress, Saskia. While lost in thought, he picks up an old coin. It’s wor...
