I was extremely disappointed in the Time Traveler’s Wife. Very boring and uneventful. Tell me I’m not the only one!!

Same!! I didn’t even finish it. I think I got half way before i was like “enough is enough”. I found it so beyond boring and i just didn’t like the characters at all. Idek why. I guess I just felt like they were both really boring people. I’ve heard others say they love it or they didn’t like it at all. Guess you either love it or hate it lol

It is one of a handful of books that I could not get into. I love the concept of time travel, but the cadence of the book was off, to me.

I loved it, when I read it I had heard they were making the movie of it. I remember thinking how will they ever be able to get all this across in a film. But the film was pretty good too.

Isn’t it funny how different people react to the same story, I’m sad that you didn’t enjoy this book as for me it was one of the most emotional books I’ve ever read and would have a place in my tip 10.
