Good book. Of course the whole premise of the story was unrealistic, but I felt like some of the details could have been a bit more realistic.

Also, Although he told some people about what he did, it seemed odd that he would disappear not long after, proving his point, seemed too easy to me.

Why is it so fascinating to read a book where the past and future has already begun and been spun even before the first chapter?

Quite a few of my friends had read this book and I finally let curiosity win me over. It was a good thing I took it on vacation because I literally could not put it down.

Even better the second time around and so much better than the movie. :)
I've started the first chapter, but I haven't been "captured" yet.
