The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This book is about a man who time travels and his wife. He time travels to the past and meets her when she's nine, and they eventually get married and live out their lives with him time traveling. The book follows their experiences together, and his experiences on his own. It reminded me a lot of the new TV show Journey.

I really actually enjoyed this book. I got caught up in the idea of time traveling and the story line from the first few pages. They learn that a genetic disorder causes the time traveling and at times during the book I caught myself thinking it was real rather than some fictional novel. The story is broken up into different experiences that the two main characters (Henry and Clare) have, and eventually all of those experiences tie back together to make sense in the end. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and the author's writing style.

  1. That's so funny because I just finished this one too, maybe two days ago. I didn't review it because I think someone else did already, but I loved it.
