The Time Traveler's Wife

Someone take this book off my hands. It was on my wish list for a long time and I couldn't wait to start reading it. Within thirty pages, I was cringing at how horrible the dialogue was. Somewhere along, I thought, it must get better, because I'd heard good things.... Um, no. It did not get better. The story idea was clever, but the characters were so corny and contrived that it was downright embarrassing. The movie must be better than the book. I wish I'd spared myself and just watched that.
