      I like the downplay of the futuristic scenes and the clinical explanation for human time traveling, making the plot more realistic altogether. An anomaly of all the time traveling books I have read. The theme tone of the book, I think, is love and the inevitable sorrow intertwined with love. The ingenious writing reminds me one of my favorite movies "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind".

      There were times when I just wanted to stop reading. The book starts well with an intriguing idea, Henry is a man who time travels and jumps around in time who falls in love with a Clare. My main problem with the book was that other than the time traveling, there isn't much else interesting about Henry, and I never got why Clare fell so madly in love with him. It was kind of like watching a romantic comedy where the two leads have no chemistry.

      Things picked up for the last 100 or so pages, and I found myself quite emotionally involved with what was going to happen (what the reader KNEW was going to happen but still had to read along to find out exactly HOW). The author does a excellent job of working Henry and Clare's individual timelines together, but for a bulk of the book I just didn't care what happened to either of them.

    • A truly incredible book. As a lover of science fiction, this was nothing of the dry or overly technical readings that sci-fi can be. Instead it was a heartfelt story of love. My wife is reading it now and is equally impressed by it. I'd give this more stars if I could...

    • This is a novel that tugs at all of your emotions. A great time-travel story with a twist. The writing style is different and takes a little bit to get used to, but it's written very well nonetheless.
