It was OK, but I'll give it an extra star for being based on an interesting concept.

I loved this book. I spent the last 20 pages just bawling my eyes out. Beautiful story.

It's not that it is a bad or boring book, just not exactly satisfying for me. There is a lot of potential in the book, but for me it was not completely fulfilled. I felt that it was exquisite and elegant for the first half of the story, but then it kind of falls flat. Definitely not a majority opinion, however, and would still recommend reading if the premise is interesting to you.

Brilliant premise. The author made time travel a completely convincing "disease." I admire the book for its complexity in making the premise work. Not big on the ending (spoiler: too fairy tale-ish). Characters seemed a little too "good." But I was hooked until the end.

Very different from a typical romance novel due to the time traveling which makes for an exciting read.

Amazing. This book still haunts me...I've been thinking about it for DAYS. Movie coming out in August...not hopeful that they can capture the essence of the book on screen. http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2784428569/
