The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Please... do not read this book unless you're into overrated, pretentious romance novels.

I hated this book. One because I wasted $21 CAD on it, and two because it was a waste of my time and space in Hong Kong... oh and three, it was boring and pointless.

I was misled to this book. I thought it was about a real psychological or psychiatric disease that causes Henry to time travel involuntarily. I was hoping for some twist in the end. I thought it was about how Clare had to deal with her husband's sudden and unexpected amnesia moments. Boy was I wrong.

This book was about a fake made up disease... Argh, I know I'm reading fiction, but I wasn't expecting this. While others found this book "funny" and "heart warming" and "touching", I just found it boring!

It's like a science fiction trying to be extremely realistic, which doesn't work for me, really. Reading this book was really really annoying.
