I luuuuuurved this book. It has a very interesting premise which keeps you thinking and guessing towards the beginning. While the writing is witty and sharp at points, the author paints a beautiful love story that depicts a very real and honest relationship between two people.

A very popular novel and deservedly so - Niffenegger understands her craft very well. Also worth noting is the excellent (and accurate) local color - it's always pleasing to see places you're familiar with in a novel.
