The Time Traveler's Wife

Looking for an amazing book? The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is defiantly amazing. Within a few chapters I knew that this novel would become a favorite of mine. The Time Traveler's Wife  is a story about two people who are destined for each other.

Clare Abshire met her husband when she was only 6 years old. You may not think that's strange, people marry childhood friends all the time. Well her soul mate was Henry DeTamble, though only eight years older, was 36 when they first met in the meadow behind Clare's home. Henry is a time traveler, he has no control over when or where he travels. Triggers (stress, even the flickers from a television) cause Henry to move back and forth in time. Clare and Henry's lives are entwined from the beginning. They met when she was young, and he traveled back in time to be with her. When they met in real time he knew nothing about her, this was a first she knew more about him. They marry and try surviving through life with his genetic disorder. Clare wants to start a family but Henry is concerned that their child will end up with the same problem as he. This is all that I am going to share about the story. I don't want to spoil the ending.

I loved The Time Traveler's Wife. Niffeneggers writing style was a little confusing, especially when she jumps back and forth not only between points of view but with time periods as well. Other than that I think she did an amazing job. Her story line is so unique and is defiantly something that I am very interested in. The "voice" that it is written in is so believable that I felt like this could actually happen. I'll give you the same warning my Lit teacher told me. It can be grafic at some points, please be mature when reading it. The story feels like a romance and a tragedy rolled up into one book. I recommend it to anyone who wants a compelling novel.

Audrey Niffenegger also wrote another novel. Its called Her Fearful Symmetry. I haven't read it yet but am seriously thinking about it. I hope it is written similar to The Time Traveler's Wife. If you have read it please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
The Time Traveler's Wife was made into a wonderful movie in the year 2009. Rachel McAdams plays Clare and Eric Bana plays Henry. It was given a 7.1 out of 10. As usual I haven't seen it yet. On my list I promise. But I was told by a classmate that it was amazing. Again comment to let me know your opinion.

I want to apologize for this post being a little lame. I've been busy with class projects and getting ready for college. Promise my next one will be awesome, though I haven't decided which book to read yet. Any suggestions?
