review 1: Just because I didn't like the ending doesn't mean I should say that it wasn't a good book. It was, actually, it was a book that brought me to tears. I just wish it ended differently. Until now I'm left with questions about Henry's time traveling experiences but I guess it's best to leave the story and how it was written as it is. Some parts were dragging but enough to fully understand the end. It was a different kind of love story; one worth reading about.
review 2: This is one of those books people either love or they hate. I loved it. The characters feel deeply for each other, suffer greatly (and I mean *suffer* here, this book gets incredibly dark in places), and then these beloved characters experience tragedy by the end. Such beautiful darkness in this no... morevel, and the writing is superb. I was sucked into this story from the opening lines, hit a bit of a lull halfway in, and then devoured the rest of the book in a hate-to-put-it-down kind of way. Near the very end of the book, Henry (one of the two main characters) has a nightmare, and the way he describes the dream, Ms. Niffenegger has written the most exquisite metaphor for life I have ever read: "And I dance. I am blinded by the lights, I dance without thinking, without knowing the steps, in an ecstasy of pain. Finally I fall to my knees, sobbing, and the audience rises to their feet, and applauds." This book is a whirlwind of ugliness, beauty, pleasure, and pain. A great read. less
