Loved this book. Read it in two short sittings. Much better then the movie, although the movie was great too.

I loved this book. I have read The Mermaid Chair as well,but I just didn't get into it.
I read this book a couple of years ago and couldn't put it down. I actually then re-read it last year. It's one of those books that you stay up all night to finish, even though you know you have to get up in the morning for work. The characters and their relationships are so rich and quite wonderful. I started panicking when I realized there were only a couple of pages left-I definitely wanted a sequel!
A side note: the movie was a big let-down for me. As usual, the book was much better.
