Book Review of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife
reviewed on + 50 more book reviews


Although the time traveler, Henry, is portrayed as an unorthodox librarian who loves and lives a Punk Rock lifestyle, his non-linear love affair with the woman who he eventually marries would have been totally orthodox, save the oddball time travel twist. I understand it's probably meant as a metaphor for the inconsistent ways, both physically and not, we are there (or not) for the ones we love, but for me it read like standard sappy Chick Lit (emphasis on Chick, less on Lit) parading as something more highbrow.
