This book was beautifully written and a wonderful love story. ( )

A very unique love story is probably the only way to describe this novel. Romance is in general a genre I don't read, but from the get go this book had me hooked. An added bonus is the fact that this novel had me in tears which is not an easy thing to do even 'My Sister's Keeper' which itself is a moving story didn't reduce me to a crying wreck. Follow the lives of Henry and Clare a young couple who although have found their soulmate in each other have their lives complicated by the fact that Henry has a genetic condition that means he disappears and reappears suddenly to signficant points in his life.

Wow. Couldn't put the book down! Wonderful storyline, a joy to read!! Splendid writing. Fell in love with both, Henry and Clare. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy love stories, with an edge, and I would read this book again in a heartbeat. I can't wait to see the movie, so that I can see how horrible it is compared to the book. Kudos. ( )

I really wanted to like this book. Really, I did.

I enjoyed it until the last few chapters. I thought the end was absolutely ridiculous and contrived. However, because I liked MOST of the book, I gave it two stars instead of just one.

I feel bad about spoiling in a review, so I won't say what exactly happens...but just be aware the ending is not neatly tied up nor does the book end on a happy note. I found the way things resolved more than a little unbelievable, and depressing to boot. ( )

This is an expertly woven story. The constant time shifts could easily have made the story difficult to follow, but I was amazed at Ms. Niffenberger's skill at keeping the reader involved and in the moment. I thought about the characters long after I read the last word. ( )

The Time Traveler's Wife

To His Coy Mistress

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 015602943X, Paperback)

A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.

An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.
