I was a little disappointed with this book...I watched the movie before I read the book...not usual for me. I was really into the story at the beginning but was steadily uninterested as it went on...It just kinda ended without an ending...she's forever waiting for him, from the time she is 6 through old age, how is that a good story?
I wanted to like this book, but ultimately it left me with a big "meh."The plot device is good and I really enjoyed the first half of the book. As I read, I increasingly felt that Nifenegger left us less engaged with the characters, focusing instead on (sometimes pompous) minutiae. The second half of the book was overwritten and depressing. Maybe with a bit of editing in these parts, I could have felt better about it. I finished the book and felt a little let down by the resolution. Anyhow, I did enjoy the first half and it wasn't horrible--so 3 stars and a big yawn.
I know a lot of people love this one but I just found it to be utterly depressing. I didn’t even care what happened next
