I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's one of my all-time favorites. What I like about it is that it's a melding of two genres that typically aren't done very well: romance and science-fiction. And yet both are done well here. The romance is not idealized, and the time travel mechanics are not allowed to distract from the story or the characters. Admittedly, it might not be for everyone. The time travel can get confusing, the characters aren't always likable, and there are some pretty graphically disturbing scenes. But if you can get past all that, this is a very enjoyable and touching story.
