My brother gave me a copy of this for Christmas and I’ve only just gotten around to reading it. I thought it would last me a couple of days, since I’m confining my reading to limited periods because of the move. Wrong. I was totally sucked in and found it impossible to set down.

I rate books like this: Didn’t Like It, Not Bad, Enjoyed, Recommend This, and Will Read Again. The Time Traveler’s Wife is the first book I’ve read in ages that earned a WRA. It beautifully explores the relationship between Henry and his wife Clare over the course of their lives–lives that are complicated by the fact that Henry is an involuntary time-traveller. In the book it is described as something like epilepsy, that he will have a fit that causes him to drop out of time. The book is smart, deeply moving and touches on the ideas of free-will versus pre-destination.

Read it.
