Josh's Review: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

How would you like to be able to travel back and forth in time? Sounds pretty cool, huh? Bet you're thinking that there's a catch right? Well, there is. You can't take anything with you (not even clothes), and you have no control over where and when you go-- middle of the night in January in downtown Chicago here we come. This is what it is like for rather dashing and adventurous librarian Henry DeTamble. Henry is diagnosed CDD or Chrono-Displacment Disorder which makes him travel back and forth within his future and past. When Henry meets Clair for the first time he is 28 and she is 20. Clair has known Henry since she was 6. This book is the story of how Clair and Henry come to know each other and as the title suggests get married. Each page is an adventure unto itself. The book is a little hard to get used to as the writing style and format that the book is written in take a little time to get used to but once you get into the meat of the book the story takes hold of you and pulls you along on a magnificent journey. I definitely recommend this book to any mature readers that are looking for something out of the norm.
