Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Chris in PA
I laughed, blushed, cried, sobbed, and thought. Time travel and real love, a real marriage; portrayed in such a way as to show both the power and frailty of the human heart and spirit. Inspirational and tragic; this is one of the best books I have ever read.

Review (not rated) by Mr. Carter
simply outstanding...!! this book is the joy in the joy of reading... please pass this comment back the author.......

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Yvette
This is one of those books that do not come along often. It was one I couldn't put down. The pace and imagination that it is written with is just engrossing. You really care for the characters and get involved in the story. Highly recommended for romance and science fiction lovers alike. A good story that is so rare these days.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Christine Daley
There is a lot of reality in this most unrealistic book. Ms. Niffenegger has created such real characters that I feel as if Clare and Henry are people I actually know - hang out with. This is one of those books that stays with you all day - long after you've put it down, not only because it expresses love as well as anything I have ever seen, but also because all of the energy and emotions in it are so palpable. The relationships are wonderfully functional and disfunctional. I highly recommend grabbing a glass of wine and curling up with this novel.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Shanti
Excellent! I think it's enough to describe it.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Kimmer
Oh, my. It has been a long time since I literally could not put a book down, and I can't remember ever finishing a book while practically sobbing. This book is wonderful; thought-provoking, emotion-stirring, powerful stuff. Now I remember why I love books.
