Readers say *The Time Traveler’s Wife* is beautifully written with clever, innovative time travel that enriches its unique romantic story. Many praise...
3.5 stars. So I'd intended to read this one for awhile. Mostly just because of all the hype. And I'm a sucker for romance. But I'd also heard it was sad, which made me hesitant. And while I thought it was beautifully written, the characters were well-developed, and the story was beyond unique, I wasn't blown away. I did find myself always picking it up, wanting to continue the story, so it's hard for me to rate. But there were no tears for me, no feelings of despair when I finished it. Mostly I found myself flipping back through, trying to make sense of the dates and clues early on in the book. Oh well, I can finally cross this one off my list.

This is still a favorite of mine. A beautiful story of a man who time travels. And the love that grows as a child befriends a time traveler. A reread several times and never disappoints
One word: INCREDIBLE!
All questions are answered by the end and this book just leaves you feeling 5000000 emotions all at once. Happy to have had the journey of reading it this week!

Moments of happiness, sadness, tragedy, shear comedy, and wonder. Well worth the journey through their lives as time bends back on itself.
I really enjoyed this novel. Something pulled me in and kept me reading. I felt quite emotionally invested in the characters, even though they sometimes disappointed me. There is something magical within this book underneath its flaws. Yes, it was too long and some of the more explicit words (The c-word isn't really sexy or appropriate in any case) could have been left out. The time-travel, dates, etc. can get very confusing if thought about too rationally. But overall, something makes me want to like this book so I do. I think it's worth a read. In the end I cried, so that's a sign that even if I can't explain why, I really was into a story.
