Thanks for this book. I very much like the front cover and I hope to have discovered a new favourite writer. I already like the idea of the story. Thanks spursbythebeach!

Just read. Very interesting. Time-traveling very well laid out. A little bit too long. But the ending... horrible! Why did it have to end like that?! I really hate it. (I'm not going to say anymore, don't want to spoil it for future readers.)
I'm sending this one to Totje2, tomorrow. She has it on her wishlist.

Journal Entry 6 by Boekentrol at Leeuwarden, Fryslân (Friesland) Netherlands on Monday, April 9, 2012
I hadn't come to read this book, when another copy arrived in the favorite book roundabout.
What I do here, is give the review I gave that book (http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/2496161/ ) and the same amount of stars.

I liked this book.
I think I liked it because it was such a very strange book. I have never read anything like this before, so I found my self actually being curious on how the story of Clare and Henry would develop.

What I did not like very much, were the almost too traditionally perfect characters. Clare as the woman who patiently wait for the man she loves, not even looking at others, but one time. And I did not like Henry as womanizer, the bad man everyone warns Clare about not to get involved with.

The time travelling was well done in my opinion, altough in itself it was too long. What I did not like was the ending of the book, the loose end Alba and the huge leap in time that brings me, the reader there. Again, perfect Clare, living up to the conditions / circumstances that were laid out for her.

The 6 stars are for keeping me reading like I did, but it is not a book I would read for a second time.

Journal Entry 9 by bloedengel at Turnhout, Antwerpen / Anvers Belgium on Tuesday, July 3, 2012
A should read. With a very beautiful cover indeed. I'm eager to dive into it. And wished I would have met boekentrol in person, but I did not see her. :) Next time ? :)

Journal Entry 11 by bloedengel at Turnhout, Antwerpen / Anvers Belgium on Thursday, November 27, 2014
Well, I certainly liked the start of the book better than the rest of it. Half way through it wasn't that fast-paced anymore ...
Happy travels !

In the box from bloedengel as it was on my wish list :)

Journal Entry 13 by wingInge1990wing at Rhenen, Utrecht Netherlands on Tuesday, July 11, 2023
I enjoyed it, but it was a long read and sometimes difficult to keep track of the time hops.
I agree with boekentrol about the perfect characters. It annoyed me a lot.
