I was so excited about getting this book and I thought it sounded like a great story but I didn't even make it through this whole book. I waited as long as I could before giving up, hoping the story would pick up, but I was bored out of my mind and I couldn't go any longer.

finished today 9-1-09. I loved this book. Ultimate love story. Tear jerker at the end. Awesome. I actually saw the movie before I read the book. A lot of what happened in the movie is now clearer to me. I definitely recommend this book. It has become one of my favorite all time books!

Simply put...a beautiful tale. You might not enjoy it if you can't get past the fact that the premise is (currently...who knows?) scientifically not possible. But if you enjoy a sweet love story that isn't sickly sweet, a great plot, and an amazing writer, then this is the book for you. I think it may be my most favorite book ever, which is a hard thing to commit to!
mesmerizing, never done before, so unique, a must read...

It took me half an hour to just stop crying, and be able to write any kind of review about this.
First of all, I hate Gomez's existence in this story.
Now onto this wonderful gem. I can't really describe it. If you've seen the movie "About Time", this is a more dramatic and tragic version of it. But that's not a good explanation either. It's the story of Henry and Clare. Henry is a time-traveller, and Clare is the love of his life, and they struggle (A LOT!) in their relationship. It's a fantasy romance, there's a lot of art, philosophy, and literature weaved into the story.
Even though the ending was spoiled for me, but I couldn't help crying, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW! This is a book about eternal love, that time is nothing, about loyalty, about waiting for someone your entire life, and what that waiting does to you. This book represents a lot of things, and I love every one of them.
I thought of taking down the review one star for being too sad, but it's real (if we can overlook the time-travel bit), life is harsh, unexpected, and full of flaws, yet the few moments of happiness we experience make everything worthwhile.
I love this book, and this is by no means an adequate review, but I honestly gave up on the idea of writing an overly long review, and I'll just say one thing: prepare a lot of tissues and read this book!

Really great book I loved the concert. It was very unique and interesting to see how all of the timelines ran against each other. I especially loved scenes where Henry interacted with himself. Wish there had been a better conclusion though.
i am infatuated with this story and terrified of it at the same time. I picked it up because I always read the opening pages of a book before I buy it (people at bookstores and costco love me for blocking the aisles) and the opening paragraphs drew me in with Clare's description of being left alone and unable to follow where her husband goes for unknown amounts of time. being a cop's wife, I could relate to the being alone, concern for safety, and unpredictability of schedules that Clare and Henry deal with (though of course, not as extreme). after that opening, I can't say much more without spoiling it for anyone who hasn't yet read this book - but i found it totally relatable, even with the science fiction aspect and backgrounds, morals and actions of the characters being totally different from my own choices and experiences.
