Ah, basically what the title says. -smiles-
I love this book, I'm about half a centimetre in book-terms from finishing. So far, it's sharp, it's fast, it's witty...
Emotional, and quite dangerous.
I'd highly recommend. -smiles-

But, has anyone already read it?
And if so...opinions please?

I just finished reading that book and I absolutely loved it!

Normally I'm not a big fan of love stories, but Neffenegger created such a twist to it! I really enjoyed the writing style and the way that the story does not follow a conventional timeline.

I've never heard of it, but it sounds interesting! I love time-travel stories. :) Who is it by? What roughly is it about? *is very curious*

Oh I've read it and enjoyed it :) I particularly liked the first half - I didn't think the ending was so good.

It's by Audrey Niffenegger Herenya. It's about a woman who's married to a man who has a genetic condition which makes him travel to a different place in time without meaning to. The places are generally some time within his life time so it's not the futuristic or historical type of time travelling. Anyway this means that he first meets the woman he'll marry when he's 36 and she's 6 because he travells to her past but they marry when he's 28 and she's 20.

I love this book. However my copy is a lovely ink stained one. It's a bit pink from a hard storm and a hike.
