I found this book average. I don't understand all the love, though there were plenty of parts I liked.
However, I hated how Henry met Clare when he was an adult and she was a child. It could have easily been Henry travelling as a boy meeting a young Clare instead for the most part, and that would make Clare's crush on Henry more reasonable and Henry's thoughts on young Clare was less creepy.
I also thought the last part dragged a lot until the very last thirty or so pages where it was good again. overall, I liked it but I probably won't want to reread it any time soon.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. I just can't put it down, and I don't want it to end. I have to give this book five stars. The writing style, character point of view changes, and imagery is awesome. I have to recommend this book to every girl, it's probably the best love story I've ever read. I think the main point of the book is to love your partner in the here and now. I've tried to learn from this and stop worrying about our long term relationship needs like marriage and babies and crap, and focus on ensuring Ben and I show our love to each other everyday, every chance we get.

This book was interesting, and very different from anything else I have ever read. I didn’t realize it was a romance novel at first, but I ended up liking it even though I do not usually read romance novels. The science behind Henry's time traveling adventures is fascinating and I liked the way the whole book spilled out, in one giant overlapping circle. However, I do wish there was less sex scenes in this book, which is the main reason it didn’t score higher for me.

Ik vond het een bijzonder verhaal. Ik miste waar het verhaal naartoe ging. Er is zo veel onduidelijk en raar dat je een echte verhaallijn wel nodig hebt. In het begin is het verhaal nogal ongemakkelijk vanwege het leeftijdsverschil. Later wordt dat wel beter. Tegen het einde waren er ook nog wel wat twists wat het weer leuker maakte en ik niet kon stoppen. Ik zou eigenlijk 2,5 ster willen geven.

I put off reading this for a long time because it's a "science fiction" novel. However, it's really just an amazing, heartbreaking and inspiring love story. Very well written and captivating. I will find myself thinking about and "missing" the characters in the days ahead.
