Customer Reviews

good for the soul
This is truly one of the best books I have ever read. I felt quite emotional at time as the characters are written so beautifully and thoughtfully. I constantly wanted to know what would happen in the future and how their story would pan out it kept me hooked. I liked the idea of time travel although ultimately this is a romance. I think this book can make you look at life with a slightly different perspective and for that I loved it.
Must read!

An Epic Masterpiece
I have never before read anything like this and probably never will again. Niffenegger has created a true masterpiece. The way these characters are developed, their relationships with one another, their time line - the plotting and structure are impeccable ... just sensational. Claire and Henry are characters that will endure in popular fiction, and while it might seem a little OTT to say this, I really feel that this book had a profound impact on me. It is a gem.

Be warned - it's emotional
I wish someone had warned me just how emotional this book is. I finished reading it yesterday in floods of tears. I'm sat at my desk now trying not to cry. I've read a lot (English Degree) but I'm amazed, I truly am, by this book. Read it.
