Summary: Grafikimagnation has no imagnation...
Review: Perhaps the reason why those of us who weren't taken in by Waller's literary con job (and I use the word "literary" only under advisement and a ton of salt) is because prolonged exposure to this verbal quagmire produces a rather contagious abbreviation of the intellect characteristically suffered by readers of Harlequin romances (such as yourself, for instance).
This kind of alleged story would only appeal to those losers who waited too long while love passed them by but unfortunately didn't show such prolonged restraint when this piece of shit was published by Warner.

Summary: Tripe.
Review: I have been in love. I have experienced powerful, gut-wrenching emotion. I have looked at something and thought, "it will never, ever be better than this". But certainly not while I was reading this book.
The language was shabby. The storyline was flat and predictable, yet somehow managed to confuse the reader with unprecedented jumps from the present into the past, into the past of the past, into the future. As I turned page after nauseating page I watched Waller trample over everything good in fiction. The emotional moments were clumsily laden with outrageous cliches. There was no subtlety; none of the clever nuances that even the worst drug-store novel manages to include.
I have never been more unimpressed with a book.

Summary: Not a book for those who have never been in love
Review: If you do not believe in the magic of possibilities, if you think sacrifice is a concept limited to religion, and if you have never truly fallen in love outside normal boundaries, this book is NOT for you. As I read the reviews of those who hated this story, I found myself thinking over and over, "You just don't get it." Wrapped in what looks on the surface to be yet another trite love story, is a deep and complex telling of a tale of sacrifice. For those who read it in an hour, I say, "Go back and read it again; you missed the point." In your haste, you read the words, but ignored the message. In today's society of instant gratification, you saw a small book and decided it required an equally small amount of dedication to reading it and truly listening to what it had to say. Try again, but this time devote a bit more effort to looking beyond the love story between these two characters and feel the heart of Waller's lessons. Life and love are never easy, the most perfect things sometimes come at inopportune times, and sacrifices are made in error that preserve the order of things in some lives while leaving the door on other lives opened but without closure. It is not surprising to me that most people would misinterpret this novel, that they would see only the love story that lies on the surface and ignore the depth of what lies beneath. Most people have never loved in the way that Waller writes about, so to them this will always remain just a "Harlequin romance." But for those of you out there who have loved someone you shouldn't have at a time that wasn't right, this book will make you understand that what you did wasn't a sin. It was a gift. And maybe it will make you rethink your decision to live that life of quiet desperation doing what you should do for the sake of your family, and instead pack your bag and run with your "Robert Kincaid," run hard and fast and without stopping even to take a breath. I did just that and only realized after reading "Bridges of Madison County" what my fate would have been if I hadn't

Review: This is the worst use of typed words in existence. I read it and got sick to my stomach. As a bookseller, I wanted to pass out a pound of boloney with each copy. What tripe!!!

Summary: why? Why? WHY????????
Review: Why did my best friend insist I read this? Why did so many people revere this ridiculous rabble? Why didn't I Just Say No? And to think they made a two hour movie out of a book that takes 30 minutes to read. I wish the rating system here offered the chance to assign negative numbers. This treacly excuse for literature (O, and I am loath to even use that word in this review) cries out for a -googolplex. Run, run for your lives.

Review: Are these posters giving this book a 10 for real? This book (and I hesitate to call it that), is UNBEARABLE....

Summary: Drivel
Review: This book is like a Harlequin Romance written by an untalented imitator of Kahlil Gibran. Overblown and trite. Hard to believe a book this short can be too long, but it is. It plays into the worst stereotypes of passive woman/active man. A prime contender for my all-time "worst book" list

Summary: This book defines "overrated"
Review: After hearing all the hype, I picked it up. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This has to be one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. The dialogue is forced, unreal and just plain boring. The storyline is less than romantic, simply another re-hash of the old farmer's wife and the milkman story. I'm astounded that people are actually reading this drivel, never mind that so many actually find it remotely interesting
