Summary: Powerful, well-written, original
Comment: "The Time Traveler's Wife" is one of the most interesting, powerful books I've read in a long time. Audrey Niffenegger did a beautiful job taking some of the most complex ideas - time travel, marriage, love, children, friends, literary and artistic allusions, religion, death, drugs, childhood, growing, loss, and what it means to be human - and weaving them together poetically and with amazing clarity. Her characters are wonderful, "real" people with strengths and flaws, and I really grew to adore them. Despite skipping around time at the same rate as Henry, the time traveler, the events are sequenced in such a way that you still witness each character's growth as a person, as well as discover many surprises along the way. Clare and Henry's story is one of the best love stories I've read in a very long time. This book also echoes important modern-day questions about the appropriateness of gene therapy, and what it means to be a human being. I highly and enthusiastically recommend this book.

Summary: Engrossing
Comment: This book covers practically the entire lives of its main characters, Henry and Clare. Henry suffers from "Chrono-Displacement Disorder", so from the age of five on, he jumps randomly back and forth in time. His jumps seem to center around a few locations or catastrophic emotional events. In a large number of jumps, he ends up in the meadow outside of Clare Abshire's house. So, Clare knows and loves an older Henry, whom she has known since she was six. But in Henry's timeline, he does not meet Clare until she is twenty. Confused? Sometimes it is, but also very compelling and hard to put down. If my husband had not forced me to go to bed, I would have read this in one sitting.
Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderful, supremely engaging time travel/love story
Comment: Please, please do not buy into the review titled "people need to get lives." This is an absolutely wonderful novel. I was engrossed from the first few pages. This is such an original take on the time travel theme and the love story is very touching. I will not summarize the plot line, as that has been covered by other reviewers, I will just urge you to read this book.
