3 and a half stars. I was pretty lukewarm about the story until about the last 1/3 of the book. The time traveling/jumping around can be a little confusing, but I felt by the end of the story I had an ok handle on the space-time continuum. The ending made me cry. Overall, it was an alright book, like Julie, I thought about the book a lot afterwards.
Oh, who else is shocked that Henry never gets fired from the library? He must be an awesome worker when he’s there at the Newberry…

Beautifully written narrative, deeply interesting characters and plot. One of those books you will read many times. This book is breath-taking.
On a side note, please note the cover of this book. Now compare it to the cover of Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos.

I really liked this book, even though the ending was incredibly difficult to get through... It was a little hard to get into at first, but once I got into the rhythm of things, it was easy to keep up and figure out where I was in time (in the book). I'm looking forward to the movie, though it will most likely not live up to my expectations!

Well-written and engaging, you will care deeply about the characters. (Most of them. Some seemed superfluous to me.) However, the book could easily have been shorter - the second half seemed a bit drawn out.

Even better the second time around and so much better than the movie. :)
