Is it really worth finishing? I probably will just because I'll want to know if it was worth it but I don't care about either Henry or Claire yet. Will I?

Well, I seem to remember my initial thoughts were that it was a bit unbelieveable, but read a good long chunk in one go and maybe you will get into it

I found it very tedious & couldn't enagage at all with the protagonists. Just read the last few pages and that will tell you what heppens in the end without having to bother with the tedious lead up.

When will it click? Halfway in? Maybe I'm reading too short an amount each time and I need to throw myself into it

Everyone else seems to like it but I found it very tedious, although I did get to the end. I know some people cried but I couldn't engage emotionally with the characters.

It is worth finishing. I did cry like a baby from a certain point onwards, mind you. It is heartbreaking at times, but a great book.

I've got 2 copies. Bought another because I'd forgotten I'd bought it ages ago.

The time travelling is getting on my bloody nerves.
