A review by rhondac123
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
4.0
(Some novels fall into a category that I like to call, "The book is better than the movie" category. This would be such a book. Don't watch the movie at all, just read the book please.)
A man with a genetic disorder that causes him to travel through time spontaneously and without warning is the catalyst for his problems and solutions, and its also what draws him into meeting the love of his life. Themes of fate, synchronicity, and true love all interweave in this tale and I like to say those are my most favorite themes. What better reason for one to dive head first into this story, but before you do, remember: the events occur un-chronologically, so if the idea of tying loose ends together and understanding the links between who, what and most importantly WHEN events took place and how they tie in together seems...daunting to you then I would consider not giving this book a second thought. I will say that while the idea might seem annoying or head turning, while reading this book I was actually impressed with how smoothly it all came together. I only gave this book four stars instead of five because I didn't like the way it ended. Other than that, good book.
