I didn't like it at all, although, having promptly put it out of my mind after viewing it, I don't clearly remember the reasons why. <br /><br />I have not read the book.

I couldn't buy into the whole time travel thing and found the repeated attempts at pregnancy, knowing the risk, selfish and stupid.CailinMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286856318936072850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-24471287607760654912013-08-31T17:32:36.605-07:002013-08-31T17:32:36.605-07:00I loved the book -- thought it was very clever.

I love science fiction, and crazy stuff like multi dimensionsional universes, time doing funny things, bring them on. I agree that reading the book should be a prerequisite for seeing the movie. I just finished this author's second novel and liked it far less.Ien in the Kootenayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766317652520657570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-55018048761703462782013-08-29T15:08:58.612-07:002013-08-29T15:08:58.612-07:00I read the book a few years ago, and really though...I read the book a few years ago, and really thought it was quite awful! I couldn't put it down, I had to see what happened.. and yes, it jerked my emotions around a couple of times.. but I did not care for the writing or the book at all. <br />I have three categories for books once I read them.<br />1. Those I love so much, they find a home on my bookshelves, and I may re-read them over the years & definitely hope my kids & husband will read (Anne of Green Gables.. James Herriot, even Harry Potter.)<br />2. Books I enjoy enough to pass around to my mom, sisters, and a couple of book swapper friends. <br />3. Books that I wouldn't want anyone I know to waste their precious time on.. Or worse yet, books I would be mortified to pass on to my mother & having her know I read! Those books get donated to thrift stores quite promptly.<br /><br />This was one of the #3 books for me. :)<br />Glad to get a movie review. I don't see many movies, but like to have fair warning before I do!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-21755728765288578212013-08-29T13:57:12.472-07:002013-08-29T13:57:12.472-07:00One less book to put on my reading list.

It starred the red-haired doctor on Grey's Anatomy.
