A review by bittersweet_symphony
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
3.0
I wish I could have liked this more. The characters were not especially likable, neither were their abrasive. The characters didn't come to life for me.
I felt like I was too much inside of a 40 something year old woman's fantasy novel--I imagine the novel was the exact dream Audrey Niffenegger wanted to live out.
Time travel is always difficult to pull off. While not a book, I believe the film "About Time" does a better job of achieving all the heart, and thought-provoking presentation that leaves an audience changed. The Time Traveler's Wife did not do that for me.
Still, there is a reason this book is so popular.
