The Time Traveler's Wife..?

[DramaInPyjamas]

Was in charity shop today and bought The Time Traveler's wife..
(It was 2 for a £1 - other book I bought was Marley & Me)

Anyway, is it worth reading? I don't want to invest time in it if it's shite half way through..
Reading is a rare treat for me these days (too busy) and don't want to waste my time.. Or should I just watch the movie instead?

Anyone?
I'm thinking about making a start on it now while DC are glued to Harry Potter!

Didn't do it for me. I couldn't get past the first chapter. Don't waste your free time on it.

Crap! Can't remember a book that annoyed me so much. I may have said this before on MN

But by all means go ahead and give it a go. Some people love it. If it was in a charity shop it won't matter when you get so cross you chuck in the bin

I really, really enjoyed it - so much so that I have read it twice and this is an opinion shared my friends at work, my sister and my neice. Give it a go.

I enjoyed it.

hated it! badly writen poor story.utter mince

Well, I read the first couple of pages.. Don't really have an opinion yet. But I will persevere with it!
Might leave it for now and read in the summer whilst dossing about in the garden!
Only reason I bought it was because of the hype I had heard about it. Thanks for opinions though.

I loved it. So creative, so romantic. Lots of my friends loved it too.

god i loved it and it made me cry almost more than Life of Pi. that's the only reason i haven't read it again!

If you're not into fantasy normally tho i wouldn't bother - it's not a fantasy/sci fi as in Terry Pratchett or Iain M Banks, you understand, but as the central story idea is something fantastical you'll just be annoyed if you're not used to getting into that kind of thing.

Loved it. Loved it Loved it! very good. A bit 'Lakehousish'

It is a silly and ridiculous book.

I read it on a recommendation from a friend and was so mad that I preservered to the end waiting for it to become a good book and it doesn't.

Very disappointing. Interesting concept but badly executed.

Its a good holiday read. But as a time-ish book, I loved The End of Mr Y much more

LOVED it, though am reading her next book which is just mediocre so far.

Read it - is lovely

it is essentially a love story so if that's not your thing don't bother ... the time travelling is just a vehicle (boom boom!)

I didn't enjoy it. I was PG when I read it, and found some of it quite upsetting.

I absolutely loved this booked, must admit I was a bit lost at first, but after the first couple of chapters I was hooked. Some ladies at my work read it after me, about a 50:50 split of those that loved it/couldn't get past the first few chapters.

cdm dont bother finishing the second book, wish i hadnt bothered reading to the end!

Loved ttw.

I loved it and sobbed reguarly whilst reading it.

Am reading it now and think it's great!

One of my absolute favorites. Don't bother with the film though Everyone I know that has rad it loves it. Takes a bit to get into, but once you do, you never want it to end.

I tried to read it for 18 months, kept giving up and trying again.

Then, I got into it and it was lovely. A true love story. I can see why people didn't like it.......but I adored it.

i loved it. i didn't perceive it to be a slushy love story, i was quite surprised when it was filmed as a romcom. not that i've seen the film. it's quite dark in parts.

I think its a really lovely book.. very different to anything I have read in years

well worth sticking with

I couldn't stand it and gave up halfway through, which is don't usually do. Bizarrely, my midwife (who is a bright, right-minded sort) was saying how much she liked it yesterday. I couldn't believe it! Just seemed too American, IYSWIM.
