The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife

(2182 customer reviews)

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.

Thoroughly disappointed... Mar 10, 2010
I had very high hopes for this novel. I saw the previews for the movie on TV and wanted to read the book first. I finished the book last week, and I thought it was poorly written. There was no character development in the book at all. There was lack of emotion...I never could figure out what it was that Clare saw in Henry or vice versa. I thought that the book was exceedingly disgusting, especially the part about Clare fantasizing about Henry after he is dead when Gomez is making a pass at her...I'm not going into further detail there because it is utterly disgusting. I thought that the author took something beautiful, which is making love, and made it look trashy and disgusting in this stupid book. Again, I was very disappointed and I will not be reading anything from this author ever again.

Ugh! Mar 08, 2010
This book was so creepy I had to stop reading halfway through. An older man travels back in time to manipulate a young girl and mold her into his future wife, bleh!! Talk about your creepy pedo vibes. He is sociopathic and cares nothing if his actions (stealing for instance) hurt other people, as long as he gets his bride. Then he gets her and it's all sex sex sex pop culture hipster references and more sex. This made me roll my eyes.

I give the book a couple stars for the interesting side characters only.

Good Purchase Mar 08, 2010
Shipping was very prompt, and the book as in excellent condition, as described. I was completely satisfied with purchase.

Wonderful Mar 06, 2010
It was beautiful and lovely. Fantastic and made me cry. So happy and so sad.
I loved it and I am a hard person to sway.

Lost in Space Mar 06, 2010
I always begin reading books with a sense of adventure. It wasn't long before I felt completely lost in a story so banal and so trite that I wondered at my own intelligence since so many people have lauded it. What have I missed? Maybe it's the genre, not my favorite at the best of times. I simply didn't care about Henry and the very precious Clare after a few pages. My willing suspension of disbelief vanished and maybe has shown up in a different time zone. I just hope it comes back!
