Is it worth giving the film The Time Traveller’s Wife a chance? 5 years after reading it, I still get all weird-feeling

5 years after reading it, I still get all gut-twisty and weird-feeling from The Time Traveller’s Wife.

Is it even remotely worth giving the film a chance? I HATE book-based-movies that fail and ruin the book for me…..

I’ve only ever seen the movie and I liked it a lot. Sounds like I should read the book!

I liked the book a lot, too, and I thought the film did the book justice.

Read and watched. The book is on my top ten list, the movie wasn’t bad. It won’t ruin the book for you, for sure.

I chose not to watch the movie after loving the book — maybe I will now, after all.

I only read it. I also loved it so I’m a bit timid about watching the movie.

Loved the book. Liked the movie. Re-read the book at least once a year.

One of my all time fav books–for a long time after, if I heard the name Henry I immediately thought of that character. Movie was just ok. Didn’t ruin the book for me but didn’t do it justice either.

Thank you all so much for the reviews! I might just take the chance and watch it WITHOUT re-reading it first, to be safe!
