There isn't much I can say about this book without giving it all away but it is certainly similar to the Time Traveler's Wife where Niffenegger plays with the boundaries of time, space, death, life, ghosts, etc. I didn't dislike this book but what was happening during most of the story was rather frustrating becuase you never really understood the underlying reasons of certain characters. The whole premise of the book is based off one act that occurs at the end as well so you are reading for a long time before you start to understand why things are happening.I'm just going to say the biggest thing that annoyed me is I believe in an afterlife and that a persons energy stays out there but I don't believe in ghosts hanging around and talking to us once a person has died. They are dead and they need to be unavailable to allow for people to move on!
Overall if you like Niffenegger read the book but don't expect anything amazing.

Wow, not a very good recommendation! I think I will pass. I found The Time Traveler's Wife exceedingly annoying and I am not even sure to this day that certain things made sense! And certainly, when men are so fickle to begin with, why would someone marry one that kept disappearing and showing back up naked? I mean, honestly.
