I read it when it first came out. Awesome book--I hope the move lives up to it, because I have high expectations now.

I understand that I felt the same way with "My Sister's keeper" |

I read it. It was interesting. You have to pay close attention because she's aging normally while he's jumping around in time. It's quirky, but she does a decent job of explaining the main character's 'disability'. It is not a FAST read.
I'm not sure I see how they'll do a movie. . . . I'm skeptical they'll be able to get it to work and have audiences able to follow what's going on.

I really liked the book. Care has to be taken. Can't see how they will do the movie.

I liked the book too. I actually got it in DTB because my hubby was already buying some books and they were having a "buy 3, get 1 free" sale. I finished it about two days before I found out that there would be a movie version.

I have the pb and that's what I'd go with. Even though I liked the book, I don't see myself re-reading this one a lot. Like Ann said, it isn't a fast read and does jump around a lot.

I just saw this movie trailer also. The movie looks good, I like both of the lead actor/actress alot.
I also really want to read the book, I klick for this one on Kindle all the time. I might break down and buy the dtb before the movie comes out if it hasn't become a kindle version yet.

Also I know there is another thread just for "Klicks" but I don't think it would hurt to post the book here also to get it Kindled.  Please Klick for this book to get Kindled before the movie arrives! |

I read the Time Traveler's Wife a couple of months ago - I loved it. Absolutely loved it, and will probably reread it as soon as I make it through a few more books on my TBR shelf.

The Time Traveler's Wife was one of my favorite reads last year - I highly recommend it.

I loved this book! The story was really unique. I wish it was available on Kindle, but I would still definitely recommend it.

is it one that most of you would Keep? ? debating Hb or pb It's a book I'd keep...but I got it in the trade paperback version. I liked this one enough that if it had been available for the Kindle, I would have turned around and bought the print version, too. |

Great book! For those of you that liked "The Time Traveler's Wife," try "Replay" by Ken Grimwold. It's about a man that keeps dying and then "wakes up" at different points in his life, giving him the opportunity to make different choices in his life to see how they will play out. Unfortunately, not on kindle, but a good read (and not as difficult to follow as Time Traveler's Wife is initially).

I've been trying to listen to this one as an audio book and I'm having difficulty getting excited about it. Perhaps I need to read it...

Gosh, that sounds like a good one too. Why are none of these books on kindle? It makes me want to scream! Except that won't make the books get kindled any faster so I will just keep quiet and keep klicking for them to be Kindled.  |

I just received this book and have started reading it just a couple days ago. I haven't gotten very far into it yet. It sounds like it will be very good though.

I started reading it last night (gave up waiting for it to show up in a Kindle version) - liking it so far. After seeing the movie trailer, I knew I wanted to read it before seeing the movie, and I want to see the movie.

I loved this book! It is one of those I absolutely will buy for Kindle if it ever is issued.
Unlike some who savored the experience of reading it, I did it in a day (hospitalized at the time, and had nothing else to do with my time while waiting for someone to come in and sign some discharge orders). Perhaps the book is actually less confusing if you do it quickly so you can't forget what it was that happened in the future. (And that's not a gramatical error...Things did happen in the future in this book.)
