In either 2006 or 2005 I was in a book club with a few friends from work and one of the books we read was Audrey Niffenegger's 'The Time Traveler's Wife". I not only loved the book I was obsessed. Surprising to me not everyone loved it. The extreme difference of opinions was around Henry. My friend "A' loved the book like I did and found Henry passionate, romantic and sexy. My friends like "W' thought he was mean (especially to Claire), thoughtless and uncaring. The Club was really divided about this book.
I thought it was wildly imaginative. I like sci fi (William Gibson books, TV shows like LOST, movies like The Matrix, etc) and this was a nice surprise--thought I was going to get a sappy romance but instead got a passionate adventure.
So as I said I first read the book 2-3 years ago and now that the movie is starting to be shot... I figured I start a place to talk about one of my favorite books and hopefully a good movie.

I'm so glad you started this! I love TTW and eagerly await the film as well.
Thanks! I'm signing up for RSS now!
Keep your blogg going on please, I just read the book and totally loved it. So gutted it's over, I swallowed it like hot bread. By the way I wonder to what extent the producers read the book - Gomez for one is rather Polish looking, rather beefy and also supposedly more handsome than Henry. Not that I mind Bana one bit but isn't he a bit too athletic for the role?
Although looking at the pics now he's lost weight, yes...Why is the film so far away?
OMG! i am obsessed with this book!!! i first found out about it on imdb when i saw eric bana was going to be in the movie.. im a huge fan! lol i saw the blogs and how much everyone loved it and i was like hmm i should read this book.. so i did! and im in love with it. i read it about 2 months ago and cant stop thinking about it.. im really sad i finished it =[ but im really excited about the movie! except for the fact that they keep postponing it! i check imdb everyday to see a release date has been posted yet.. but so far it only says 2009 =[ i guess ill just have to wait!
