    She is an abysmal writer. The only reason anyone thinks the book is good is because of the concept.

    I have yet to read this novel, but my love adores it. It seems interesting enough and is said to have numerous allusions to Rilke and Proust and to great 70's punk!

    It is really attractive. This book makes it possible. I like it.

    I loved this book. It's not perfect, but it made me feel and think and want. It's one of those stories that pulls you into the characters' lives and leaves you wanting more, mulling over the scenes and premise for days after you've reluctantly turned the last page. Rarely is such an original idea portrayed with such vivid language so you believe the time travel possibility and the characters are almost people you know.
