It was so good, I bawled my head off. 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. The first part of the book was a little dry but later wow. I hope she writes more.
This can barely be described as a love story and it didn't move me at all. Like another reviewer mentioned, I was also disappointed with the lack of character development especially with Claire. I'm a cryer. Even when they were trying to have a baby, I kept thinking "why.". Who knows. I never really understood why Henry and Claire were in love in the first place. I am really disappointed with this one.
I mean, did she even finish college. I always cry at sappy love stories whether they be books or movies. She did nothing with her life accept wait for Henry. I wasn't convinced that they felt anything deeply for each other besides the sex they had all the time. It was all so shallow and unbelievable. Was she a good mother to Alba. The author never goes beneath the surface with any of the relationships in the book, including the main characters.I would not buy this book again.
After you've read the book, see the movie. I rarely like a movie better than the book, and maybe it's a lack of imagination on my part, but the movie really brought the book to life.
Although the title sounds intriguing this book is simply a waste of time - even though it took me only a hundred pages to see that no plot had developed and the characters were completely lifeless. Its difficult to imagine how someone could take an interesting topic such as "time travel" and produce this tripe. Horrible.
The time traveler and his wife didn't make love, they f-----. While I really liked the whole time-travel, meeting your spouse ahead of time, etc. Both characters continually referred to it in those terms both after the fact and in asking each other for it. story line, and the way the author presented it, a major problem for me was that this book came off as more of a lust story instead of a love story. The author's overuse of the f- word was what did this for me. "Why don't you f--- me", "please f---" me", "let's f---", over and over. The overuse of such crude/juvenile terminology for what should have been beautiful moments in this couple's life ruined the relationship of the two and the entire book for me.
