I read this book last Saturday and could not put it down. I think I moved all of 3 times in 5 hours.
I enjoyed the circular path Henry lived in, and the repercussions of his time traveling on Clare. (More on this later)
What did other people think?
Its on a book club reading list on a tv programme in the UK, Ive heard lots about it and seems very popular .I havnt read it but its title sticks in my head.
It is on my "to read" list.
Care to say more, Taliesin?
Sure, dlowan.
It's a very well-written book about a man named Henry who, due to a genetic mutation, randomly travels through time to random points in his life, and his relationship with his wife because of this.
It has some very nice characterization, and I found the effects of Henry's interaction with his wife before they met in normal continuity on her development(Basically, they meet in real time when he's 28 and she's 20, but he later travels to points in her childhood, and I found that fascinating).
You should definitely read it.

Several months ago at a book store, I browsed through this book. I found it to be quite fascinating.
