I thought The Time Traveler's Wife was one of the most extraordinary books I have ever read. There is simply nothing like it. I don't even know where to begin...I feel as if I honestly need to read it again to be able to wrap my mind around it enough to write about it intelligibly.

Not many authors are capable of this--Niffenegger is one of very very few. This summer I fully intend to read this book again and write down every location mentioned and visit every single one of them, just...because :) That's all I have for now. I may return later if I have something more to write...
