Title: Technically brilliant, otherwise a yawn
Review: I really labored to get through this book. While the author does an outstanding job of weaving the details of past and present events as the characters transition from one time to another, the story itself is not very compelling. It is also somewhat tiresome to continue keeping track of who's speaking (Henry or Clare), and who's what age. As other reviewers have said, the character development is weak, and it's not easy to develop a lot of empathy for either of them. I mostly hung with this book and finished it so I could guilt-free write a review here, and warn other would-be readers to avoid this popular novel. There are so many better books out there so spend your time on.
