I loved this book. It has that forward-backward plot time thing going on where you don't really know what's going on until the very end. It's a great love story for those of you that can't get enough of that. The main character is richly portrayed and quite interesting. For those of you that love to read, this is a must. Hopefully, they won't screw up the movie. ( )

I read the book in a few days. At first it was confusing with the time traveling but after a few chapters it started to make sense to me. My favourite parts were the visits Henry made to Clare when she was younger. I didn't see the point of all the miscarriages and the doctor visits Henry made didn't interest me at all. One of my favourite characters was Kimy. She seemed to always bring some happiness in the book. It was a good book that was hard to put down and I can't wait to see the movie. ( )

Although this novel includes a time travel element, its story is timeless--girl and boy fall in love, their love is exceptional but there's a problem. The writing style is detailed and realistic, embroidered with allusions to art, music, poetry and mythology. A lovely story, well told but not terribly innovative or thought provoking ( )

I first read The Time Traveler’s Wife in December of 2007, after leaving it sitting on my bookshelf, unread, for far too long. I immediately regretted not having read it sooner. This is an incredible, beautiful, heart-wrenching love story… and fantastically original. I was torn between not being able to put it down, and wanting to take my time and savor the story. I didn’t want it to be over. It was as if Henry and Clare were people I knew; their love was so strong and so passionate. The ending just grabbed my heart. I cried and cried. I remember Ricky and I had only been married a couple months and he comes home from work to find me sobbing on the couch, wondering what he’s done wrong. ;oP ( )

Boring, silly, pretentious, unbelievable. The story and its characters were so affected by the author's preoccupation with demontrating her vast knowledge of everything uber cool, I just could not take this book seriously. That, and the narrative style of writing made it impossible for me to finish. ( )
