Happy Valentine's Day Everyone I have a review on the wonderful and amazing book that is The Time Traveler's Wife! I love this book I love it. It's right up next to PS I Love You. This story was so sweet and funny and just full of feels. For those of you that don't know what this story is about. I...

This is the story of Clare and Henry. Henry has a genetic condition that throws him forward and back through time, uncontrollably and without warning. Clare is his lover. The novel skips backwards and forwards through time. Some people find this annoying, but I think it reflects and allows us to sh...

I'm not going to summarise the story, plenty of other reviews fill their spaces with that. I prefer to share a few thoughts that I have about it. This is a very bitter-sweet story that at times (especially when the foreshadowing occurs, which it basically does all the time) can be quite a tear-jer...

DNF at 212.I tried reading this for so long, but it just wasn't working. I don't understand the hype and I don't understand this book.Sorry, fans. But this was a huge disappointment after all I'd heard about it.Maybe I'll try again in future..?

In the our near future, many will have this impediment, but when Henry is growing up and a young adult, he believes he's alone in his uncontrolled time traveling. Since he was five-years-old, he's spontaneously slipped out of his present time. Clare, who bec...

Did not finish.I foudn this book really terrible. The constant back-and-forth between past and future was very confusing. I'm also somewhat grossed out by his being a grown-up man in love with a child. Ew.I don't get why this book seems to be universally loved, but I guess this is not for me.

Seriously what's with all the hype about this book? It was overly indulgent and took a concept that could have made a phenomenal story and totally flattened that. Like sitting on a whoopee cushion and not getting a fart noise. After finishing this, I have a pretty good idea of what Audrey Niffeneg...

I just couldn't get past the grown man sucking a little girl's toes. There might have been a perfectly reasonable explanation (snake bite?) for the incident later on in the book, but the first mention weirded me out so badly that it was always in the back of my mind and overshadowed my reaction to t...
