I loved this book, more than I have loved any book in a long time. I can't believe I stayed away from it as long as I did, it just didn't seem like something I'd like, who knew!
It's the story of Clare and Henry, Henry has a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel and he first meets Clare when he is 36 and she is 6.

For the past 15 years or so, I've considered myself to be a non-fiction kind of guy. Public policy, history, economics, philosophy, were all I'd read. I just didn't "have time" for fiction. I doubted its ability to contribute meaningfully to my life.

LOVED this book. It reminded me of the Notebook in some parts (with the love story piece, or maybe that's just because I know Rachel McAdams is in the movie version...), but I thought it had a lot more substance. I was skeptical that this would be too "sci fi" for me but it definitely was not. You have to look over the genetic/sciencey stuff and see this for what it is--a great love story. Plus, one of my requirements for every good book is unpredictability, and TTTW wins that prize ten times ov

I read this years ago and really need to re-read it now that the movie is finally coming out. I will say that I loved this book so much that I actually stopped a total stranger in the Target book section and recommended it. That's NOT something I have done (before or since).

One of my favorites. Reccomended it to my book club.
