I
began reading The Time Traveler’s Wife
and it’s a very interesting book because of the way it’s set up. It switches
back and forth between two point of views, Henry’s and Clare’s. Henry has the
unique gift of time traveling. He and Clare are married in the future but he
will randomly disappear and travel back in time to when Clare was much younger
than him, that’s how they met. The book follows Henry’s time traveling as Clare
gets older and they become closer and closer in age until they finally see each
other when they are both in the same time period.
At
first, the structure is really hard to understand but I’ve found that the more
you read it, the easier it becomes to comprehend what’s going on in the story.
It’s a really creative concept and so far I’m enjoying it. I also really like
how there is two, first person point of views because it enables you to see
into the minds of both main characters and find out how they both feel about a
situation which is very helpful for character building.
