The Time Traveler's Wife

The BEST movie and book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this book, if only for the fact that it was a refreshing change from the predictable love stories that are usually recommended to me by friends and family. The story played out beautifully, but in a way that didn't always go in the direction with what I expected or wanted. Throughout the book you can feel that there is a climax building somewhere and you don't know quite what it will be, but you know that it won't be the happy ending that you would like.

If the characters feel dull during their time together, you know that it's because they are striving for the normalcy and stability that they are so desperate to have on a permanent basis; you felt all the more for them when, once again, Henry is pulled away to one of the times and places he ends up in.

I so agree with you biggles, I gave up reading it in the end as I don't want to waste my time on a boring novel when I've already got a full bookcase with books I really want to read. I'm very interested in reading her second book Her Fearful Symmetry though, that sounds better. The plot was limited and I got bored going through his travels without anything interesting happening.

I've only read a few chapters and I would have given up if I weren't reading it at the same time as a friend and swapping notes. I could forgive it for being confusing because of the subject matter, but it's just not doing anything for me. There's barely a plot and the characters haven't grown on me.

The idea was there, the story was not. What a flat ending and to me the ending makes the book.

I have to say this book didn't live up to the hype for me. I quite enjoyed it, but the ending was very flat and disappointing. Some lovely images and I like the idea behind it, but only enough to give it 3.5 stars.

I love this book, there is so many things i can say about it but i think all these post have said it all. Haven't watch the movie and i don't intend to.
