[quote=""sweetpotatoboy""]I think The Time Traveller's Wife is a book that you either 'get' or don't. Those I know who've read it have either completely fallen in love with it and thought it was one of the best books they'd read in ages (me, my sister-in-law....) or found it just a bit odd and pointless (my Mum, my best friend...)[/quote]

I absolutely loved The Time Traveller's Wife. I can remember crying on a beach in Menorca when I'd finished it.

I just found it so moving. I'm so glad I had my sunglasses on!!!!

I finally decided on The While Mare by Jules Watson, who recently joined our forum. All the comments on The Time Traveller's Wife have piqued my interest. I'll have to read that soon!

Almost uniquely, nearly all my "real" book group liked TTW, even our token male. We're all still waiting for the film to come out.

How are you liking it? I read that a few years ago, and really enjoyed it.

The Seance. It skips from person to person, I wicked hate that.

I finished TTW in tears, and immediately started it all over again. Wow - I had quibbles with bits and pieces of it (esp some of the disconnects in her time travel ideas) but all in all it was a wonderful analogy for all of the people who have loved ones who go missing now and again (war, work, mental illness, dementia, addiction) and the struggle that goes on within and between the two.
