This is a great rainy weekend read, especially if you don't have to go anywhere, because the book is hard to put down.

This book really is a must read .. as someone else mentioned, its happy and sad at the same time. Without giving away the story; I saw this book as a big jigsaw puzzle, where peices were randomly put in their spots. So it is only once the book is finished and the final peice falls into place that you go Ooohhhh thats why he was bleeding, thats what they were hiding, thats where he went to, thats where he came from ....

I really can't wait until the movie is released!!!

It's been a few years since I read this book but it remains at the forefront of my mind when I think of books that I've loved. It's a longer book and a bit of an investment as a read. Plus, it skips around quite a bit, which means it may take some time to get into the rhythm of reading and you don't want to put it down for a month and try to get back into it. I remember being frustrated each time the story would shift because I had been so engrossed with that story line. But as soon as the next chapter started, I'd get engrossed in that. And the ending. Amazing. Read. This. Book.

I was confused. I like the story but there is so much jumping around. I kept thinking as I read that the author must be really smart to be able to keep track of the timeline and sometimes just thinking that distracted me from the story. I also felt the conversations to be a bit lengthy at parts. There were parts of the book where I just skipped ahead because I didn't want to read 3 pages of the characters sitting around shooting the breeze. It was a sexy book though! I like the concept and the relationship between the two main characters, but I didn't fall in love with it the way others have.

I absolutely loved this book. It took me a little while to get with the flow of the book because of all the jumping of time periods. But once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. It tells an amazing love story between Clare and Henry and you get really drawn into the characters world. I highly recommend this book: buy it, don't borrow it. It is that good!!

By the way, the movie is already in production. Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana will be playing the leads.
