Book Review of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife
daylitmoon avatar reviewed on


I just finished this book and it keeps running through my mind. At first I was hesitant when I read the beginning of the book and realized that it was from two different perspectives. But I ended up enjoying seeing the world through Henry and Clare. This book took a bit of effort, which I also enjoyed, because of the jumps in time. It was if they were starting off on separate ends of time and met in the middle. I liked the challenge of actually thinking about the book and how certain moments were possible, how Henry was able to be in one place while in another and how it effected the people in his life. The love of Henry and Clare is heart wrenching and yes, it is a tear-jerker and a little obscene in parts, but it all comes together. I haven't seen the movie but I can't imagine it moving me as much as the book has. I'm sure I'll end up reading it again. Now that I know the whole story, it will help me understand the little moments that were left in question.
