Editorial Review:
A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome 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, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant. An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - An enthralling tale...Not typically "Sci-Fi" and anything but "Boring"!
I find myself disagreeing with many of the previously posted negative reviews. I really thought she did a wonderful job of pulling the ideas together. In the beginning I was a bit skeptical because of how the time traveling element made everything jump around so. It was a complicated dynamic...(I cant fathom trying to write a book like this) but she really did a great job with it.
I thought this book was written in a refreshing way. The story was very touching. And it really got me ... Read More
Rating:  - Totally riveted!
I save my 5-stars for books I truly love and this is one of them! I couldn't put it down (which is hard to do w/two kids under 5!) - thanks for such a great escape - I was completely engrossed from start to finish.
Rating: - A real surprise...
I usually prefer historical fiction. This book really surprised me. I was not sure I would like it. But, I was soon hooked. I liked the back and forth narraration between the two main characters and understanding their varying viewpoints. I was crying by the end because there were many twists and turns that I did not expect. Suspense was great. The author let you figure things out on your own but had you guessing about certain events. I did not like some of the language and I felt one event ... Read More
Rating: - Be patient - is worth the wait
I had heard great things about this book. However, I struggled a bit as I began reading. The concept of time traveling can be a bit confusing. (I heard this comment from several people who have also read the book) After 60 pages or so, you begin to accept Henry's ability to time travel and really get involved with the story. I think that Claire's entries provide some insight/clarification on Henry's time traveling.
It really is a wonderful love story. The connection between Claire & ... Read More
Rating: - His body goes places and times he has no control over where or when.
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
So many stories are based on the life and experiences of the author, as this story is, in a roundabout way, is, but, oddly enough, it is not the focus of the story. It is refreshing to read such an unusual story. The author is a paper maker and sculptor, as is the wife in this story. The really interesting part is the husband is a time traveler. His body goes places and times he has no control over, though he does seem to end up in places that are, eventually, ... Read More
