Title: An Example of the Crafted Writer
Review: I read this book after it first came out, and there were not many other people to discuss it with. It takes about the first 50 pages to get your mind fully around the concept of a man being able to travel through time, to visit himself in his past, to watch himself grow up, to know in advance his future, and have no control. Within this amazing premise, there is a love story that is so tender and heart-wrenching because while you know it will turn into a marriage and temporarily happy life, you have the imminent sense that just as Henry lives a volatile "time life," so too will this story take volatile turns. The book moved me to tears at the end, despite anticipating the end from the get-go.Niffenberger not only crafts an engaging and unique love story, but her prose is smooth, witty, and gripping. I couldn't put the book down, and I was sad to read the last page, but I carry with me the memory of the passion of reading this novel.
