While I was familiar with the general idea at the heart of this story, I don't think I've ever read it all the way through - at least I didn't remember the ending - which was a lovely surprise. Love the exploration of time in this tale.
this was such a lovely story, and despite the fact that its a childrens book i think many adults would enjoy it. i found the story a bit slow to get into because it was a childrens book, but once i became more connected to the characters it was like reading any other book. I did see the plot twist at the end coming all the way from the beginning but that didnt bother me, for children it would have been a bigger shock. the ending, however, was absolutely heartbreaking. it was beautiful. the ending can definitely be appreciated by adults more than children.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I quite enjoyed this little book.
It took me so long for me to read , it put me in a reading slump but at the end I can say that it's a great book. Also(spoiler) I knew that Hatty was Mrs. Bartholomew from Tom's and Hatty's first met , i don't know why , I just knew

This book had a huge impact on my love from books.
Will forever be happy that our teacher made us read these along with her after playtime everyday. She also showed us the movie, rolled in the TV and I was so happy.
I remember pleading my mum to buy me my own copy and I still have it to this day.

This is one of those charming, magical stories that immediately plant themselves in your heart and you read over and over no matter how old you are. I like this book quite a lot.
