Disney My Own Prom Dress

Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffeneger

There are books in which we look, because everyone who recommended it to us, while his eyes were full of admiration . These books, which tells of many a laudatory epithets flow and flow. These are books that collect the mass of positive reviews that beguile and lure. And there are books and disappointment.

Henry is sick. There is no cancer, no hay. He suffers from travel in time. Not dominating over this sudden moves in the past, in the future. And when the present meets Clare suddenly, he sees for the first time in his life, he learns that she knows him from childhood and that in future it will be his wife. Henry then discovers that the next time travel goes back to the past and knows little Clare.

And that is what this book is. Henry appears and disappears, and Clare was waiting for him. Like a small puzzelki, while reading the chapters fit together and transform into one indissoluble whole. It's a love story told in a completely new, as lovers do not share the confusion already, parents or other adversity, they divided the time. And time is a merciless thing.

idea for this story is great and will certainly cost the author a lot of time to logically piece together all the time jumps. Unfortunately, the form of a bit disappointed. The book is too stretched. It is possible that if Neffenegger fit in some three hundred pages, the more it would appeal to the reader. But not even a redundancy terms. Mainly destroy this book monotony dialogues. Is it the fault of the author, or a translator, however, and speeches of Henry and Clare are the same speech, almost artificial, which evoked little emotion in me. Do not fond to any of the characters (only Alba grabbed his heart, for this character is worth reading in full) and the moments when I should cry with them, nothing stirred in me. Also rejects the physiology of the characters, though more important than their feelings and emotions was, when and how often they go to the bathroom.

criticizes, I know. But in this book was a lot of good. It is interesting how author published sequence of cause and effect of our existence. Whatever we do in the past, the future and so it is a foregone conclusion. We can try to change a lot, and we do not change anything. An interesting point of view in the era of Christianity, when the majority of the population is enjoying the free will.

And besides, this is a really beautiful book about love. A love that is patient, not jealous of her looks, not resentful, bears all trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1Kor13 ,4-7). There are few such love in the contemporary world, including betrayal, divorce and freedom. Perhaps the lack of free will in Niffenegger is not at such a unique idea, and goes much deeper into our being.
