Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryA dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant. |

TRAVELING BOOK
Rating:
Purchased for daughter for Valentine. She states that book
was not as interesting (plot hard to follow)as thought would be.
She donated to school library.
Thoroughly disappointed...
Rating:
I had very high hopes for this novel. I saw the previews for the movie on TV and wanted to read the book first. I finished the book last week, and I thought it was poorly written. There was no character development in the book at all. There was lack of emotion...I never could figure out what it was that Clare saw in Henry or vice versa. I thought that the book was exceedingly disgusting, especially the part about Clare fantasizing about Henry after he is dead when Gomez is making a pass at her...I'm not going into further detail there because it is utterly disgusting. I thought that the author took something beautiful, which is making love, and made it look trashy and disgusting in this stupid book. Again, I was very disappointed and I will not be reading anything from this author ever again.
Ugh!
Rating:
This book was so creepy I had to stop reading halfway through. An older man travels back in time to manipulate a young girl and mold her into his future wife, bleh!! Talk about your creepy pedo vibes. He is sociopathic and cares nothing if his actions (stealing for instance) hurt other people, as long as he gets his bride. Then he gets her and it's all sex sex sex pop culture hipster references and more sex. This made me roll my eyes.
I give the book a couple stars for the interesting side characters only.
Good Purchase
