This was okay. Peter LOVED it.

Sometimes time travel can be annoying (and confusing) in books, but she did a really good job with this one. Lots of unexpected twists and turns.

A really fun read.

I love Jasper Fforde.

This was pretty good for a book written by a man–reasonably funny, not too much sex or women behaving like men, or any of the other things that have made me hate every book I've picked up lately by a man.

Loved the way characters from different books are coming together. I miss Tess!!

This was good, but so much like all books I used to read 10-15 years ago. A bit overdramatic, and I got very, very tired of everyone being drunk or on drugs or both for almost the entire book.

Not my favorite book. Too serious about itself. Plus, one of those books where they man falls in love with the woman for absolutely no reason, but is instantly dedicated to her for life. Maybe this is supposed to be flattering to women?

LOVED this book. Would have read it in one sitting if I could.

I think I loved this more than I would have if I hadn't read Rebecca Mead's My Life In Middlemarch first. But it was really great.

Made me sad I have never read Middlemarch. Off to remedy that...

A total Twilight rip-off, but still a fun read.

I wish I could give this 500 stars. I laughed so, so hard.

Either he's gotten more sappy since I loved a book of his or I've gotten more hardened. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't a favorite.

I just couldn't believe the voice of this book. If it were really true, it would be fairly amazing. I'm waiting for it to show up on Snopes.

The stories from the teens were really interesting, and I learned a lot, but I missed some perspective/background/further information from the author.

On of my favorites. Though, as Jane says, you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can read your favorite books over again. This was probably my third reading...

Loved this! I don't know how realistic it is, but I didn't care. I wanted to be in this teacher's class.

I really liked how the characters were very focused on doing the morally right thing.

I wish I could give this more than five stars. An amazing puzzle of a book. I think I've read it before–I know I've read some of it in the New Yorker (ironic), and maybe I started but didn't finish it before? Anyway, that only added to the deja vu feeling of the whole book. Need to read it again.

As Angie and I said, “Finally a book as good as Speak!”

It was great to be back with all the old characters again, but the writing wasn't all that stellar.

I'm fascinated with Anne Lamott because she's so different from me. I can't tell if I'd hate or love her in real life. I've only read her non-fiction before, so it was strange and interesting to read her fiction. This book stayed with me a long time.

It was great. Loved the characters, loved the story. Really a 4.5

The beginning was good, but the end kind of dragged. The names were way too similar for me to follow, and the story jumped from person to person in a way that made me lose track. Maybe I'm just getting old...
