Bookclub-in-a-Box Discusses the Novel "The Time Traveler's Wife"

Editorial Review:

Product Description:

A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.

An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

Rating:

- Powerful Love Story
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time! It is an inspirational love story that made me laugh hysterically and sob uncontrollably. The story is unique and perfectly crafted with witty dialog, unforgettable characters, and a message that will stay with you long after you finish reading. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a powerful story unlike any other that will completely touch your heart.

Rating:

- Very romantic
*** Contains a major SPOILER.

Wow. This was the most romantic and imaginative book I've read in a long time. Unlike some people, I didn't find the time shifting confusing. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it was a little bit to sad for me. I'm a happily ever after kind of girl. I'm glad she didn't sell out with the ending though.

- the ultimate woman's fantasy
Page-turning, beautiful novel. The characters make an imprint on you that seem to reappear and assist in gaining clarity and understanding in relationships.

- Wow... just Wow
I will start by admitting that I can be excessively critical of female writers. I often want them to transcend gender stereotypes and push their readers to think critically. I generally give free passes to those who are simply writing beach novels because they aren't claiming to be groundbreaking. However, I get the feeling that The Time Traveler's Wife was intended as an epic saga of love and loss amid a world that just doesn't understand. Gross. Audrey Niffenegger disappointed me on so many levels.

Let's look at the book from a distance (spoilers abound!). Imagine yourself at age six as a member of the opposite sex appears naked in your presence and urges you not to call the police or tell your parents. Why? Because this person is your soulmate and the two of you are destined ... Read More

It took me about two days to read this one, and I must say I am blown away. I have read many, many books-this is by far one of the best. I understand why a few people may not enjoy it; however, I believe that everyone should give it a try (most of you wont walk away disappointed). Five stars.
