This was a beautiful love story that is richly written. It brought tears to my eyes and I can't wait to see the movie to compare.

Loved this unusual fantasy/sci fi (sort of) story set in modern times. What makes it a fantasy is time travel... but the fantasy stops there. Awesome story of a couple through the years who develop a love for the ages. The man is an unwilling time traveler and the woman is the one who grounds him... and helps hold him safe.

I concur with Katie’s review. Interesting premise, I was fully engaged at first, but in the end it was pretty boring. Why all the detail about their hygiene habits? Why was every banal conversation reported in detail? Why was the Christmas mass they attended described so carefully? What’s with the food porn? The recitations of poetry in foreign languages? Why do I have to know how to make paper? Why did their sex life read like a smutty romance novel? Then some important conversations and explanations were left out. Exploring the concept of time travel in this way was fun, but the book could have been half as long.

The language in this book bothered me. I guess I could have stopped at any point. I liked the story. The begining was light and happy. But then it tore at my heart. At the end I breathed a sigh of relief but it wasn't a happy sigh, just an "oh, good" sigh.

Wow. This book was terrible. I kept hearing how amazing it was, but it just wasn't. Henry goes from being a douche to this wonderful human being, but there's nothing that describes the change. He's just suddenly not a dick anymore. And maybe I'm just a huge nerd here, but I spent more time focusing on the time travel and the millions of paradoxes that occur than what's actually happening in the story. Oh, and speaking of story, there's not a lot of it. It's pretty boring in a lot of places. Just because a book is popular doesn't mean it's good.
