molecoid 's review for:
The Time Traveler's Wife
by Audrey Niffenegger
This was an amazing book. If you want to read a great love story that defies time and objectivity, read this book. It's absolutely amazing, and I read it so fast because it just draws you in.
The only part that really had me confused with all the jumping around in time is the description of Henry's death. On page 468 we have the death described from an outsiders perspective (sort of) and then later we get the first hand account from Henry. I might have been reading something wrong, but this was a little strange to me.
In the end, the ambiguous death doesn't really matter because the book is so great. There was so much plot that I wasn't expecting, like Gomez and Clare. I never expected them to be able to conceive Alba, it was quite a ride.
Overall, amazing read. Time to go watch the movie!

For this being Niffenegger's first book I was concerned, but in the end I was so impressed! Even with first person (which I despise) and POV switching, it was so well written I couldn't put it down.The only part that really had me confused with all the jumping around in time is the description of Henry's death.
