Have had The Time Travellers Wife recommended to me by many friends, so decided to give it a go. Im about 2 chapters in, and not really enjoying it. Is it worth me presevering, or should I just give it a miss?

I guess Im asking if it gets better, or should I be "feeling" it by now

It is difficult to follow the plot and believe in the idea of time travelling initially, but stick with it!

I just keep thinking that it doesnt make sense, which is annoying me I take it it all comes together later on in the book?

Keep going - I kept thinking it was a bit silly at only 2 chapters in, but then I got right into it and it is now one of my favourites

Oh I really enjoyed it, despite reading the synopsis/jacket and thinking " this doesn't sound like my usual fare".
Don't remember struggling at the beginning but it was a while ago and I was v sleep deprived so may not remember properly.
Give it another couple of chapters, and see how you get on.
(As an aside, I watched the film - not nearly so good as the book imho)
