Book Review of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife
barbsis avatar reviewed on + 1076 more book reviews


This is a romance novel of a different sort than I am accustomed to. Henry time travels and meets his current wife, Clare, when she is 6 years old and he is 34. The entire book is kinda like a his and her diary. There are incidents written from Clare's point of view and some from Henry's. It is very interesting but a really slow read with all the time traveling backwards and forewards and trying to keep track of where (and when) everyone is.

There really doesn't seem to be any point to the time travel. It appears that he just pops in and out of time to meet Clare at these different points in both their lives. I found this to be rather boring and had to force myself to finish reading it.
