The Time Traveler's Wife is one of the more interesting fiction novels to come out in recent years. ItÂ’s about Henry DeTamble, an adventurous 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.
I figured it was a good time to talk to the author, Audrey Niffenegger, because the book is now picking...
this book is my new favorite book. i've read it a bunch of times already. i love it and even though when i re-read it and i know what is going to happen, it makes it even more emotional and special.
Typically, when I pick up a piece of literature, I'll sit down with it, before I buy it, and read a little of it. My philosophy is, if the book can keep my attention through to the second chapter, It's sold! This book however, caused me to hold up one of the more comfy chairs at the book shop for almost TWO hours! That's right, I could not put this amazing piece of literature down to save my life. I really like the musical references all throughout the novel as well. GREAT read!
i was introduced to this book this past summer at a fried of mine's summer home in michigan. i read through it all in one sitting. sadly, i had to give the book back at teh end of the stay. i've been meanign to pick up a cop of my own for quite a while......after reading this, i think that i've been privided with a sufficient enough push. =)
Wow! So wonderful to read an interview with Audrey Niffenegger. The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my all time favorite books. I couldn't put it down, but then I was so sad that it was over that I cried. It is definitely one of the most poignant and powerful works books I've read.
This is one of my absolute favorite books. It's spreading like wildfire amongst my friends-- we're all reading it over and over, buying it for other people, etc. Yes, it is THAT GOOD. Beautifully written, emotionally real, the kind of book you read in a day and think about for a month.
I kept kind of glancing surreptitiously at the book as I shelved, because it looked potentially interesting but it had been put in general fiction, which is usually not my thing. And then I decided to heck with it, and grabbed it, and read it. And it absolutely blew me away. So utterly romantic, such wonderful play with the time travel concept...I recommend it to anyone. Absolutely anyone.
Well, except maybe the people who'll only read Christian fiction. But they don't know what they're missing.
This is my favorite book ever. I reccomend it to everyone I talk to. I cried in the end, I was touched, I couldn't put it down, and I've read it three times since.
Now that the movie is coming out..I know everyone will be interested, but I can tell it won't be the same as the emotions I get when reading the book. It is absolutely amazing.
