I couldn't put this book down!
I felt so connected to the characters in this books that I got sucked right in and could hardly put it down. It's a touching, sweet, and heartbreaking story. Very original idea and very creatively plotted. I would read books from this author again. Definitely would recommend. (although I would NOT recommend the movie.)
I'm not big on romance novels, but because this had a fantasy/sci-fi element to it, I decided to pick it up. I think this is one of the more unique and enjoyable romance novels on the market, and one which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Because of the time travelling element, this story is fairly non-linear. It jumps around in time, but the writer makes it easy to follow along with the sequence of events. There's a wonderful emotional core to the story, which really helps to connect the reader to the characters and what happens to them. Everything is fully fleshed out, which is important when the focus moves from one point to another quite easily.
This book also spawned a film adaptation, but I personally enjoyed the written version much more. Even if you're not much of a romance reader, this has enough to offer in other aspects that I think casual observers can still find something to like.
This is a nice book, very emotional, beautiful story. I don't think I will read it again though. It just didn't hold my attention that much
This is definitely an interesting read, and a worthwhile book to pick up at some point in your life. The story is engaging and complex, and the characters are well-developed. It's not your average romance, that's for sure! It's very well-written, but some passages are a little long-winded, so if you're looking for an intense and fast read, this probably isn't going to be it. But, for a cottage or vacation, this is a good one to have along!
I really enjoyed this book, as the story line was absolutely beautiful. Although, I did find that on more than one occasion - it felt very drawn out, and I almost lost interest. Overall, it was a good read.
PS: The movie is a definite must see as well. Beautiful.
This was a really nice story with loveable characters. I agree with some reviews, it jumps around a lot, so you really have to pay attention to what time period you are reading.
This is a really interesting and strange book. Somehow, the author takes a completely unrealistic circumstance and makes it strangely relatable. I'm not a huge fan of either of the main characters, but I was so drawn in by the rich strangeness of their story. Definitely worth a read... but I will warn you, you have to pay attention as it jumps around a lot.
This book was a great read. I really enjoyed it. I couldn't put it down. The book is much better than the movie (usually it is).
This is a great book. I am sure glad that I read the book before I watched the movie, because the movie would not have really made much sense if you had not read the book.
Please do not judge this book by the movie. This was such a great read, at the time so different from anything else I'd ever read. I loved the main characters, I found them sensual.
