 Don't waste your time and money on this book. Please !!! February 18, 2010

It is the worst book that I have ever read. Whole story and characters are very shallow, fake and no consistancy at all. Henry sometimes remembers what he has done during his travel and sometimes clueless, just for the convenience of the author. To my opinion, the author wrote this book just for the sake of writing something. Completely waste time to read it !!! Luckily, I borrowed the book from the library. Otherwise, it wastes my hard-earn money too.
 Well written but overly long February 16, 2010

A line in Steel Magnolias has long stuck with me: "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful rather than a lifetime of nothing special." Niffengger explores this premise thoughtfully through several relationships in The Time Traveler's Wife. But while the book presents a fascinating idea and explores several themes poignantly, it would have been better suited to a novella rather than a 500+ page book.
For the first quarter of the book, the plot is a compelling force (as is the last quarter, though for quite different reasons), but the middle plodded along so slowly and clumsily that the urgency and flow of the plot is nearly brought to a standstill. Niffenegger does a brilliant job of exploring the depths of the main characters' love for each other and, more surprisingly, the commonplace turmoils of their relationship. However, her writing style lacks any notable character and at times the plot borders on sentimental; but, the strength of the character development and the uniqueness of the premise save the book from being overshadowed by its flaws.
Review Adult Content before letting Children/Teens Read. February 16, 2010

I strongly suggest that parents read the book
or more specifically, pages like 16, 229, 230
before letting children or teens read it.
The book contains adult content that
exceeds what is contained in the PG-13 movie.
 was very surprised February 13, 2010

Put off buying because it sounded like a difficult concept and would be confusing to read. It was a great book! Very well written, engrossing, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

OH MY GOSH! I couldn't put this book down in the latter part of it..I still feel like I am a part of their world!! It was so good, I bawled my head off. The first part of the book was a little dry but later wow!!! I hope she writes more!
