![]() I thought my fellow QL devotees would find this novel and soon-to-be movie interesting.

![]() I've read the book.
I mostly enjoyed it, although I personally found the ending less than satisfactory.

![]() I went to see the film last Friday.
I really like it but I have a major issue with the fact he says he can't change anything haha. I'd explain it more why I think that's wrong but it'd spoil the ending. Apparently the book is better than the film (but isn't it always?) so I'll have to read it sometime 'cause I really did enjoy the film ![]()

![]() Yesterday I told my mum about the book and she said that she read it some time ago. In the meantime she sold it on a flea market.

![]() I read the book years ago when it first came out. I read it again recently so I could refresh myself on the storyline.
I couldn't help but curse under my breathe when it was said that history can't be changed. But I kept thinking, if we have free will then history can be changed. Overwise the future is already set. That means no free will. But I cried at the end of the film. I was in floods.

![]() SPOILERS
If history can not be changed, then how come he was able to give his wife a winning lottery tickets based on his knowledge of the future??? Is that not changing the future?
