Lump in the throat...
I finished this book twenty minutes ago. There was a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. For once I'm not thinking about football, and checking my emails, and what's for dinner. I'm thinking about love, and loss, and life.

Geralda
I finished the books last night for the fourth time (in the space of a couple of years...) and was in a cab going home. I kept crying and crying and felt so very sad even though i know what was coming.

The first time I finished reading the book I kept thinking non stop about Clare and Henry for days and days. This is the most amazing book I have read and very likely to ever read. It is the story of true love conquering everything and what amazing creatures human beings are! I can never recommend this book enough and I do so to everyone I talk about books.

Read it and you will be excited, happy, sad, enlightened.

A really unusual story
I selected this book from the reviews on Amazon so was really looking forward to it. I found it took a long time to get into it, then suddenly I was hooked. I have never really read anything so near to science fiction and it really made me think about the future and the past and if we can alter it and what would we do if we had our time again or the chance to see those who have already departed. The story was very deep with 2 characters; Clare and Henry as the main focus. Some parts I had to really concentrate on and recheck the dates to understand what was happening. Very clever story telling and I became so involved in the story I did not want it to end.
