  The QL books by Ashley McConnell are all fairly good, but this one was considerably better than that. While the way it deals with child abuse is not new or unique, it feels emotionally true on multiple levels, and looks at some causes/triggers, as well as generational issues. This is what QL was at its best: small changes with great potential impact; ripples that started a process but left it to the real people to make it a reality.

  Quantum Leap tackles child abuse in this edition of the series.
  The book is quite harrowing during some of the scenes but also keeps the humour of the TV series in the appropriate places.
  A multi-leap book, this could have benefited from being longer. The scenes at Project Quantum Leap took a little while to get used to but helped flesh out Al and give him something else to do other than be just The Observer.

  Really enjoyed this book. I watched the show as a kid and rewatch the episodes to this day. This book not only tells a great story about a young American family living in Germany during the Cold War, but also gives much more insight to Al and everyone back at The Project. It was a nice change to know about the visitor and the hardships of the other characters. I recommend this book if you really enjoy family friendly sci-fi mixed with history.

  A fun little book that also had some great insights into child abuse both from the parental and child standpoint. Glad to have read it.

  Any fan of Quantum Leap should like this book. A dark and moving tale, taken back to the early days of the Berlin Wall, where Sam has to live out the life of a little girl suffering at the hands of an abusive parent. Chilling and thrilling, it reminded me of a favoured episode of the series in it's grim subject matter. Not much of a comedy peice if you're looking for it, but if you enjoy the more serious side of the series, I'd recommend this book.

  One of the darker Quantum Leap novels, this explores child abuse as Sam finds himself in the body of a six year old girl. A nice touch was having the reactions of the little girl as she finds herself in the body of a middle aged man!
