I loved this book! My heart was in my throat most of the time and it very nearly made me cry, but the potential pain was totally worth it. This is one of those books that goes to the top of the list to read over and over again.

I really enjoyed this book. I love historical fiction, but WWII was not a time period I had really spent much time with in the past. This was a great first book to try out for that era. The details were fantastic (except for one mistake near the beginning of the book about CDs, but I let that one go - even though it bugged me for a few pages). I live just a few hours from the Japanese internment camp spoken about in the novel so I found that even more interesting. The writing is beautiful and the character of Henry is great. The supporting characters aren't as well developed, but they still tend to work well. I'm really glad that the book is structured the way it is - bouncing back and forth from past to present. Sometimes that can create a really disjointed story line, but in this case I think it worked in favor of strengthening the book as a whole. This is a book I will be reading again.

This book was fantastic! Recommended to me by a friend and read nearly the same time by another, this is a very fast read that sucks you into the story line. Every scene is detailed and the characters are well developed. This is a book that I can see myself reading over and over again.

Loved this book! I might have even liked it more than Water for Elephants. Full review to come...

Very imaginative plot. Read quickly and sucked me right on in. I didn't want to put it down...so much so that I stayed up WAAAY past my bedtime 2 work nights in a row. It was worth it.
