Joe Regal sees the time travel/romance being the theme much like others, but unlike some critical articles he sees the execution performed well and the story being very tasteful. Though the certain parts are overdone.

| Henry, 36 Clare, 6 |
He feels the storyline is creative and very simple to follow. He goes through explaining the storyline, and how the two main characters hearts meet and learn to need the other. Henry was always the protective “boyfriend” throughout all of Clare’s life and many emotional scenes through the book draw us as readers into it. Everything about the characters is laid out in front of the reader. The events have technically already occurred and we’ve read through those with the child Clare and middle-aged Henry. Regal feels some of this could have been cut-out without losing the substance and fairytale aspects the book held true.

However it is not a read for everyone, it is better suited towards upper-middle class tastes. And is soon to become a motion picture.
