When I first heard about this book, I wasn't sure I'd like it. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. The way it has a touch of fantasy based in reality was utilized brilliantly and the relationship was real, considering the very unreal circumstances. Beautiful story with an equally beautiful ending. Reall...

I didn't hate this book, but I don't understand all the reviews that say it's the best book ever. It's entertaining. I'm glad I read it. However, I was hugely underwhelmed.The biggest mystery to me is why this book is so long. There's not much of a plot, and the characters aren't too deep. How in th...

Typically the time travel novels I am most drawn to send a contemporary character back (or less often forward) in time to some interesting historical era where that character has to cope with differences in culture and lifestyle while trying to accomplish some kind of quest--even if it’s just to get...

2004Henry is a punk-rock loving librarian, so I fell instantly. The science is absurd, and causality really loses any meaning, and Clare annoys me, but still I love it.***July 17, 2014Ten years further on I don't find Henry quite as adorable, although I do appreciate his efforts to be the man Clare...

I have had this book for ages, which is often the case with me and my books, but now that I've read it, I am once again finding myself asking, as I often find myself asking with my books, why I took so long to read this book. It was excellent! And SO much better than the movie. Not that I'm trying...

Beautiful love story with a time travel twist. There are some unnecessary bits, but the overall tone and characters are so good that you are hooked from the first page.

Disclaimer: I am not a huge fan of romances. I do not believe in soulmates, which is a heavy theme in this novel. When I do read or watch a romance, I expect for the central conflict of the piece to be directly related to the romance. In other words, the question that usually has to be answered is...

"But I have no choice. He is coming, and I am here."I unquestionably fell in love with this book and and have greatly enjoyed reading every page of it. The mystery of it all. The concept of time traveling. The characters. The emotions. The longing. The pain. The love. All well written by the author....

24/07 - I thought this book was wonderful, 4.5 stars really. I loved the time travelling aspect - going back and meeting himself or having an older version call him for help in the middle of the night - most time travelling literature makes this impossible due to the paradox of meeting yourself bein...

Why? Why do some authors feel the need to ruin it in the last twenty pages. I had the intend of 5 stars but, now, not so much. That second Gomez incident lost me, was your down fall on my 1 star de-grading. Does Claire have no regard for her "best friend" Charisse. I mean come on. I had this hauntin...
