Niffenegger - Her Fearful Symmetry

Anyone read this? Am about halfway through and it's grabbed my attention in a quite unassuming way. It's really different to TTW, but deals with similar thoughts about relationships and death. I've found it quite a good read when I can't sleep at 4am!

i'm reading it at the moment as well. enjoying it. Different from TTW.  it says it is a ghost story but Ihaven't got to the ghost yet.
i found the descriptions of the man with OCD very intersting but horrifying.

I'm a bit further on than you then tui. It's difficult to say where without giving the game away! Can feel an early night and a long read coming...

Finished it today. Hmm...not sure yet how I wanted it to end, but I don't think it was like that.

Enjoyed TTW so may well give this a try - hadn't heard of it before.

Ah thank you!

Sorry - but I just couldn't get into The Time Travellers Wife so doubtful that I'd give this a go unless it was totally different.

I couldn't get into TTW either!

I want to read this but will wait until it comes out in paperback. I really enjoyed TTW

Just seen the hardback price, so think I'll join you in waiting for the paperback, cornflak girl.

I have just ordered it from the library, thank you for reminding me. I read the reviews when it first came out but had forgotten about it.

I have been lent an uncorrected reading copy as it hasn't been published here. I must admit that i haven't finished reading it. I forgot about it till i saw this thread. I must dig it out as I have to return the book next weekend. I enjoyed what i read but it wasn't as compulsive reading as Time Traveller's Wife.
