The Time Traveler's Wife

Title: The Time Traveler's Wife

Author: Audrey Niffenegger

Pages: 16 discs

Genre: Fiction

Grade: B

Synopsis: The book is about Clare and Henry. Henry first met Clare when he was 36 and Clare was 6. They got married when Henry was 31 and Clare was 23. Henry spontaneously time-travels to other points in his life, his wife's life, his mother and father's lives or elsewhere. He can't control when or where he goes, but will always arrive at his new destination (and back home) naked and often hungry.

My Review: The premise behind this book is very interesting and intriguing. I can't put my finger on it, but I always felt that Niffenegger could have done a little bit more with the story. Nonetheless, I quite enjoyed the book, but did not enjoy the sex and language that was also quite prevalent.
