Not being a fan of science fiction, I was not sure if I would make it through this story. Much to my surprise, I loved the book. The beginning of the story was a bit rough with the constant shifts of time, and I was too focused on trying to keep track of the exact dates and ages of the characters to be sure the author was not playing tricks on the reader. Through all of that however, Audrey Niffenegger quickly builds depth to the characters, offers a non-sci-fi explanation for the time travel, and builds an unconventional, beautiful love story. The plot contains many clues to foreshadow the things to come, which are offered from the perspectives of both the time traveler and his wife. Audrey Niffenegger builds a nice intensity to the story, and a longing for more time for its characters.
