Title: Definitely Worth Reading...
Review: I read this book right on the heels of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close which, of course, was written by Krauss's husband, Foer. Perhaps that was a mistake. While I enjoyed The History of Love, I didn't feel that it was as refined or powerful as Foer's work. Some parts of the novel seem a bit to contrived and predictable. Still, I would rank it among the best books I have read recently. It is certainly worth the time and effort though, like others here, I don't think it is an easy or quick read. It takes a bit of effort, but in the end, the characters will capture your heart.
