Dear Audrey Niffenegger,
You made me cry. Will you do it again, soon? Oh, and Claire is sexy. Can you get me her number?
-Tony H

This book will disorient you in the beginning. I feel this is necessary to help you understand Henry's problem. Keep pushing on and I promise it will start to make sense. Before you know it you'll be incredibly invested in this remarkable story of a bizarre affliction that led to a Love that withstands the seriously unconventional boundaries of time. Not only do you start to realize that this could actually be happening, you start to feel like it's happening to you. A tragedy from the very beginning, this book crosses sci-fi with love-story so eloquently and with a grace that I've never before seen in literature. It's the only book that has ever made me cry. Thank you Ms. Niffenegger.
