Beautiful writing in the service of a stupid plot.***Amusingly, the woman who loaned it to me felt pretty much the same way.

So I'm not usually one for ghost stories, and I thought this might be similar to others where they thought there was a ghost but there wasn't. I was wrong. BUT...this one grabbed me right away and didn't want to let go.I figured out the big secret between Edie and Elspeth pretty early on in the bo...

I thought it was somewhat disappointing. I liked it, but I didn't find it nearly as compelling or as powerful as The Time-Traveler's Wife. Mostly the problem was that it dragged out for too long, to the point where it took away from the impact of the ending. I felt that it would have made a great sh...

This is a 2.5 star book.I absolutely adored The Time Traveler's Wife and consider it one of my favourite books, so when I heard Audrey Niffenegger had written a new book, I was thrilled, and knew I had to read it.Unfortunately I ended up terribly disappointed by it. I found myself completely unable ...

What a great audiobook to start out the year! Niffenegger's book, The Time Traveler's Wife was one of my favorite books, so I was eager to listen to this one, but I was also hesitant. The feedback from people on this book has definitely been mixed. People either love the book or find the ending d...

She is a good writer and all, but even I, someone who enjoys fantasy books and stretching my imagination could not wrap my head around this one. I kept saying to myself as I moved through this book....really? Really? But why? Shouldn't she just get therapy (about one of the twins) before you let a ...

Like many others, I came to this after reading Time Traveler's Wife over and over waiting for a new novel. I really liked the first half, but then was a little disappointed with the turns in the story. I love the setting of the old cemetery, and I have never seen or been to a cemetery like the one d...

I didn't read The Time Traveler's Wife. The synopsis never struck me as something I really wanted to read and I couldn't get into it. I can't decide if that was a good or bad thing. Probably good, because from the reviews, a lot of people went into reading Her Fearful Symmetry on the heels of Time T...

I have been waiting eagerly to read this novel. A book about two sets of twins and their complicated relationships with each other was intriguing, especially when it was all wrapped around a ghost story. It was melodramatic, which I didn't mind. It took place in London, which I absolutely loved. And...
