 megbmore | Jan 2, 2021 |  Though the story thread of this novel was difficult to grasp at first. Reading about the characters at different stages of their lives was interesting, though it was difficult to keep track of what they were doing throughout the years. It was a highly readable book, and I rushed through it over the course of an evening. However, I certainly would not include it on a top 100 science fiction/fantasy list.

( ) Weezer41 | Dec 27, 2020 | I loved the writing and the concept. It was fun to read, but I felt it could have moved a little faster. I'm impatient though, too. :) (  ) pmichaud | Dec 21, 2020 |
 The triumph of the book is the triumph of normality, of setting up a decent family life even if you are constantly dissappearing from it, of being loyal to somebody with what Niffenegger finally explains as a genetic dysfunction - chrono-displacement, as she calls it.  "The Time Traveler's Wife" can be an exasperating read, but as a love story it has its appeal: Refreshingly, the novel portrays long-term commitment as something lively and exuberant rather than dutiful and staid, evoking both the comforts it brings us and the tribulations we learn to live with.  Niffenegger, despite her moving, razor-edged prose, doesn't claim to be a romantic. She writes with the unflinching yet detached clarity of a war correspondent standing at the sidelines of an unfolding battle. She possesses a historian's eye for contextual detail. This is no romantic idyll. About halfway through Audrey Niffenegger's debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, you realize you're going to be devastated. You love the characters, you're deeply involved in their lives, you can sense tragedy coming and you know it's going to hurt. But there's no way you can stop reading... Niffenegger structures the novel clearly enough that the timelines never get tangled, and her writing is so strong you'd keep going even if you did get confused.

The story of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, a librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity in his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing. No library descriptions found. |

As the story went on, there was a lot about the relationship between Clare and Henry that made me uncomfortable, especially how he, as a grown man, interacted with her as a child. The story started to drag, and I found myself skimming. Still, I was glad to give this book another try. I found much more in it to like the second time, and I think that speaks to the importance of reading the right book at the right time.
As a writer, the way Niffengger put this book together helps me to think about constructing a book like a puzzle: crafting clues that the reader pieces together.
