What do mners think? I've seen this title come up a lot on the AF threads and I know that the film is coming out soon so is this worth reading at all or over hyped trash?

I'll probably end up reading it anyway out of curiosity.

I found it quite slow-going initially but how I sobbed! Loved it!

I read it out of curiosity. Felt manipulated by the end. Took a long time to get into and I didn't like any of the characters. It's not worth reading but some people love it.

I have picked this up in the bookshop a few times, but can't bring myself to buy it. It just strikes me as a pointless product of the chattering classes.

Must read..........

I really rate this book - it's wonderful.

Its the sort of book you ought to read once, I enjoyed it, but wouldn't read it again, as part of the fun is not knowing what'll happen 'next', as much as there can be a 'next' when there's copious amounts of time travel!
