Still, such a wonderful book!<br /><br />I think a lot of my reservations about this book had to do with the hype. I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Now, the movie, on the other hand . . .

I'll never forget finishing the book at about 2 in the morning and just SOBBING. There were a few parts that didn't connect for me and I remember going over and over them trying to pieces the parts together, but in the end it didn't really matter. I know just what you mean about falling in love with Clare and Henry. Loved them both. Glad this one didn't end up being too hyped for you--there's always that risk with a book that's so well-loved!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-4017096640867273282015-08-23T07:58:45.890-07:002015-08-23T07:58:45.890-07:00Wow, I need to read this one.

I'm so glad I did. I hate having books spoiled for me (but I don't mind that with movies) and this one would have definitely been one I probably wouldn't have read had I seen the movie first.

I've just never been completely drawn to it for some reason. That being said, your review was lovely, Wendy. Should I pick it up soon? Maybe. I understand that it is a love story, but may I confess that when I first heard about it, I thought of a Dean Koontz book that I read many years ago. It was called Lightning and had a vaguely similar story - well, the time travel part. Maybe I should read Lightning again and read The Time Traveler's Wife. :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-66488710468282973702015-08-19T06:46:30.481-07:002015-08-19T06:46:30.481-07:00:( I'm afraid I am a lone reader who was not ...:( I'm afraid I am a lone reader who was not satisfied with this time travel story.
