Advantages: Fantastic read, capitvating from the first page

Disadvantages: The book ended....

The Time Traveler's Wife is a romantic love story written by Audrey Niffenegger.

The story is based around two central characters, Clare and Henry. Henry has a gene defect which enables him to time travel involuntarily, both into history and into his future.

Clare is a normal young child when she first comes across Henry in her garden, stark naked (innanimate objects such as clothes can't time travel) and aged about 30. From then on he makes frequent visits to her until one day when she meets him in her present. The story then revolves around their life together and Henry's different experiences and encounters during his time travel.

I won't spoil the ending of the book but I will say this is the most fantastic book I have read in a long time. It takes a bit of thought when trying to understand the concept of the time travelling but after the first few chapters it all becomes clear.

The story is happy, sad, funny, enlightening and leaves you with a feeling that you want to put your arms around the people you love and keep them close. Definitely a must for book lover.

Summary: Definitely a must for any book lover!
