Book Review of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife
soiledrainbow avatar reviewed on


No lie, I only picked this book up and sped-read through it in order to watch the movie a few days later with a best friend.

The story is intriguing, presenting an interesting view of a time traveller, not only from his perspective but also from that of his family. Switching between perspectives and timelines, this story was a good read, but sort of dragged on longer than it needed.
During the first book, I literally did not want to stop reading. The story of Clare and Henry was grasping, being allowed glimpses of the future and past at the same time. Around the middle of book two, though, I was ready for the story to come to a close.

I would recommend this book, though, because it is a good story. Avoid the movie, though, it's just disappointing in comparison.
