Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This innovative debut is the story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: triggered by emotions and memories, his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are unpredictable. Through Henry's time travel the couple attempt to live normal lives, but all of this is threatened by something neither can control.




Rating: - One of my all time favourites
Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for anything to do with time travel, and a sucker for love stories, but this book was one of my favs!! I love books that make me think, and I liked the fact that I never knew what was going to happen next, unlike so many "formula" books where it's the same basic story all the time, but with different characters! I thought this had a great ending too!

Rating: - Hauntingly Beautiful
How can I relate how much I loved this book? The love story between Clare and Henry is simply hauntingly beautiful. I sat in an airplane reading it and it made me cry. The author writes each segment, each meeting between the characters with a stark honesty. I related to both characters and felt both of their joys and pains. It's an amazing story-telling experience and it's written in a witty and non-expected way. I just loved it. A pleasure to read...I just wish I found it earlier.

Rating: - Suprisingly Simple in its complexity
My book group selected this book. I didn't really know much about it going in.

I was quickly impressed by the way the author was able to take such a complicated plotline with characters interacting with each other at different ages throughout their lives and make it easy to follow.

It was a really different take on time travel than I had ever read before---not a scifi "go back and fix history" book, not about paradoxes and alternate universes--and I enjoyed the fresh view ... Read More

Rating: - A great idea decently executed
I really liked parts of this book. The concept is great, the first section of the book was really good, and there were some really nice moments through out.
I also disliked some parts of this book. Its really sad, probably too sad. I actually almost stopped reading the book after the first part because I could tell that it was going to become really depressing. I put it down for a day but decided it would be worth finishing. I didn't regret my decision until the end, which was not at all pleasing. ... Read More

Rating: - I'm am SOOO disappointed!
I can't say I had high expectations for this book, but I was looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately I can't count the times I nearly threw it against the wall in despair and almost gave up. I don't give up easily though, and continued to torture myself with finishing this awful book. I read quite a bit, and was sooo disappointed that this book ended up rising to the very top of my 'never recommend/never read again' list.

As some others have said, the characters were so out of well..'character' ... Read More
