Very few books have had the privilege of hooking me from the opening line. "The Time Traveler's Wife" is one of them. I first set out to read "The Time Traveler's Wife" because it fit into my Eponymous Challenge, and because I wanted to read the book before the movie came out. (By the way, the movie "The Time Traveler's Wife" is in production right now. It stars Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams and is set for release some time in November 2008.)

"The Time Traveler's Wife" is the story of Henry and his wife Clare. Henry has the ability to travel through time. However, he does not have the ability to control his time travels. This enables him to see his wife Clare as she's growing up, but it also forces him to re-live painful experiences over and over again.

If you've read "The Time Traveler's Wife", I'd love to start a discussion with you. If you haven't read "The Time Traveler's Wife" yet, I am fearful to say too much in my review. But I highly highly recommend that you read the book before the movie is released in (or around) November.
