The Bridge to Rembrandt 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, w...

I can't understand why this book is so highly rated? I usually enjoy books involving time travel, but this one did nothing for me. The concept seemed good, but there wasn't any wrap up in the end. Like why did we even go on this whole journey? I read this book on Kindle, and it needed a LOT of editing. The amount of missing quotation marks, in addition to internal thoughts being in quotations, made for some really confusing scenes not being able to tell if someone was talking, and who. Also, I f...

"The Bridge to Rembrandt" by Nelson K. Foley is a fantastic fusion of fictional history, teleportation, and romance set in Amsterdam. The title does not tell you about the storyline. The central plot is uniquely different, catering to realistic experiences set around an aspect of time-travelling. Our central character Robert is a concert promoter trapped in a failing marriage and mysteriously begins travelling across time. Each trip of different time brings him to pivotal points in Amsterdam's h...

It seems odd that I am allowed to write a review about my own book! So, in all transparency I'm naturally recommending it as a refreshing read, but listen more to the independent reviews than me!

Not a well written book. Don't choose this author again

Primero de todo, muchas gracias al autor por el libro a cambio de una reseña completamente honesta. Este libro me gustó, aunque me lo esperaba mejor. El libro estaba bien escrito y el autor se le nota que conoce mucho del tema. Me gustan los libros de viajes en el tiempo y este fue diferente a los distintos que he leído, dado que el protagonista llega a épocas en las que es familiar con ellas. Me gustó leer de esas épocas en Amsterdam, un lugar al que fui una vez y me encantó. Se nota que es de ...

And again I'm attracted to a book about time travelling that is definitely not what I expected and like to read.

Well written book and author seemed knowledgeable about the times and places. I like time travel books. This was a bit different from most I have read since the character lands in times he is still pretty familiar with-not much culture shock, since it varies from just 3 years earlier to end of WWII, and eventually there is a brief period some 200 earlier, but always at a time of some large historical impact. It was interesting reading of those times in Amsterdam, a place I have certainly never b...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2021Immobilised in hospital for over a month I was desperate for something unreal to distract me, and was sent this novel. 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 businesses and was marr...
