I've grown up in Texas, but I'm hoping to get out and see a bit more of what the world has to offer someday. I love to read but don't often get time to read for pleasure. (This class thing really gets in the way of my college life, you know?) I enjoy music, writing, theatre, movies, art, things related to psychology, and chatting over a cup...more »

    I loved this book...I thought Ms. Niffenegger did a wonderful job of taking your ordinary love story and turning it into something imaginative, thoughtful, and different. It was a bit confusing at first, but once I got into the story, it was captivating. There's a little bit of everything in this beautifully-written novel.

    Great book...I had the hardest time putting it down! I didn't necessarily like all of the characters (the wife made me angry!), but I thought they were well-written, and their motivations for doing the things they did--whether or not those things were right--were very realistic. I would definitely recommend it.

    It wasn't quite what I was led to expect from the synopsis. However, it was very well-written. The characters were identifiable as real people and the story relevant to anyone who has ever felt disappointment with a relationship. The end didn't resolve quite enough for me, but since there is a sequel, I guess it can be forgiven. I would recommend, unless you're looking for the happily-ever-after ending that is so unrealistic.
