Everytime I think of this book, I get a great feeling. I loved it. I told everyone that it is a must read and went and bought my husband the digatil copy. The characters come to life and you have actual feelings for them. I am afraid to watch the movie because I don't think it can compare with the book. Everyone that has not read this book needs to now. Loved it.

One of my top 25 books of all time. It has a few explicit parts but over all a complicated love story, so well written I couldn't stop reading it!

One of my favorites... great characters, enjoyable setting.... a walk thru the past that is a fun romp!

The over-arching story of the narrator as an old man telling the story of his youth in the circus. The tragedy you know is coming, even without knowing all of the details. The whimsy and poetic justice of the final chapter. This book kept me up all night reading just to find out what happened next. Walter Forever!

I loved this book, and now can't wait to see the movie.

Loved the book Great story and well written. Saw the Movie also thought it was a little slow moving but worth renting

I loved this book. Great character development. I am still trying to get my husband to read it. I think men would enjoy it as much as, or maybe more, than women.

I absolutely loved the book. I couldn't put it down. It was very well written. As for the movie, should have read the book after I saw the movie, as the book is always better for me, lol. That said, the movie is definately worth seeing.

I enjoyed the book very much, and I even liked the movie.

One of my favorite books of all time!

I was surprised at how much I liked this book. The story and characters were wonderfully developed and I very quickly became invested in the story.

A Fantastic Book!!

This book is a good read for sure! The descriptive detail is very good at putting you right in the center of the book!

What an amazing and beautiful movie. It is now my second favorite love story next to The Notebook.

The story was spellbinding and the character development was expertly crafted. I don't have a lot of time to read these days with three little ones, but I got so into this book that I made time to read and finished it in a few days.
