Book Review of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife
reviewed on + 379 more book reviews


This is a book that will wrap itself around your heart once you are established in the rhythm of "time travel." I originally rejected it because of the sci-fi angle (my least favorite genre), but realized once I had begun reading it, that the time travel is a necessary adjunct to the love story of two exceptional people. The intensity and depth of their emotions for each othre would not, I believe, have been there without the concept. Ms. Niffenegger is a consummate write who succeeds in combiningtwo or three disparate themes in one truly outstanding novel.
