Book #6: "The Time Traveler's Wife"....Finished!!!

Book #6 "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger: "We laugh, and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment" (page 240). 
     Where to start? 
     Okay, So take a moment to imagine that you could just be going about your day as normal and in the blink of an eye you are in a completely different year in a completely different place. Now to take it a step further imagine the first time you ever met the person that you are going to marry was when you are 6 years old and they are 36...yea, craziness right? This is how it was for Clare, the wife, and Henry, the time traveler. 
     Throughout Clare's whole life Henry has come and gone, there one moment gone the next, as simple as snapping your fingers. It all starts when she is 6 playing in her back yard at first, as she later admits, Henry seemed more like a guardian angel. As she gets older she get Henry to admit that he is coming from a time when they are in fact married. He tells her that she will eventually meet him in the present, and she does at the age of 20 when he is 28. Yea, you read that right that means that the first time that they met in the present Henry has no idea about who she is yet. 
    As this book shows in depth the whole 'time traveling' thing is not anywhere as glamorous or as safe as I guess I always thought of it as being. It kinda had the same writing format as "One Day" did. I can honestly say that i thoroughly enjoyed it, towards the end when I was down to about 15 pages I started putting off reading because I didn't want it to end. I wanted more. It easily could have gone on for another 100 pages while still completely holding my attention. I mean sure it did have some awkward moment when maybe it went a bit far into some facts about certain things, but I got to tell you the way it was written made me really fall in love with it just so much. I could easily read it again and go back and connect things that I didn't the first time. Just so good! 
    Oh I also want to go on record for saying that I have heard that the movie they made based off this book wasn't very good, I for one have not seen but let's go ahead and assume, as is the usual that when a book is written first and then turned into a movie the book will always always be better then said movie.  
   Now as much as it pains me to leave 'The Time Traveler's Wife' behind it is time to move on to our next book, #7 "Happily Ever After" by Harriet Evans. 

   PAGE COUNT: 2470

   That's all for now,
