"Made me cry…"
21-Aug-2012
I loved this book. I bought it on the mumsnet review recommendation and can not praise it enough. Wonderfully written it is one of the most heart warming stories I have read. I watched the film a few years ago but the book is so much better!

26-Dec-2011
An amazing book, lingered with me for months after I had read it. The characters were believable and accessible. The ending to the book and last part made it a well respected and brave book. In summary I love this book and always recommend it to anybody looking for something that is a page turner xXx

31-Aug-2011
Beautifully written, I knew the inevitable was going to happen and still I cried!! I don't read many books twice but im sure in time i'll return to this one. The characters were so vividly described and the story flowed at a very relaxing pace. Im not a fan of sci-fi so thought id be put off by the time travelling element but not at all as this didnt figure in any complex fashion. Read it, you wont be disappointed.

27-Jun-2009
This is my all time favourite book. Once you get the hang of the time travel aspect, where the characters are, and what age they are, you won't be able to put this book down.
I believe the film is coming out later this year so I will be interested to see how they handle the storyline and how faithful it remains to the original story.
Thoroughly recommended! READ IT!Read moreLessMumsnetter johnworf

28-Aug-2008
I enjoyed this book immensely, despite a slow start and my mathematician's cynicism at the concept of time travel. However, I was fascinated by the way the difficult plot entwined itself around the central theme of love, real romantic love, with a sense of inevitability and intuition that I instantly recognised. I found myself thinking 'If it happens, this is how'. The emotional depth of the story, which left me sobbing at times, was ofset by the comical and witty details, the earthy and frequent sex, and the occasional shocking act of violence. The author also captured beautifully the sense of desperation at trying to conceive, and the heartbreak of miscarrying. This book resonated with me through and through, and I loved it.

02-Aug-2008
Amazingly well written novel. It really keeps you gripped right to the very end and the travelling back and forth in time keeps the pace fast and the pages turning. It is one of the best books ive read in a long time and i am not easily pleased, especially when it comes to 'love' stories.

Absolutely my most favourite book of all time. I'm a big reader but this one touched me in so many ways. I laughed and cried my way through it, actually sobbing at the end. I just didn't want it to be over. Such a beautiful love story, I could read this over and over and never get bored!

27-Jun-2008
From the marketing, I thought I'd hate this so was steering clear - but a friend bought me a copy so there was no escape. And I loved it: wept buckets from about 50 pages before the end until it was all over. Very clever and very moving.

20-Jun-2008
I've read this book through at least five times now, crying and laughing my way from beginning to end. I'm a huge reader and consume at least 1 book a week, but this has to be my all time favourite. It's classic romance, with a wonderful twist, old fashioned long-distance love, but in a new and interesting direction. This is a must read!

An amazing read! Captured me completly. It was a story like nothing else I have ever read that made me cry, laugh and often feel very uncomfortable. Each time I visit the book shops I realise I am searching for a book to match this.
