Title: Godawful
Review: I suspect that time will eventually forget Niffenegger's debut, _The Time Traveler's Wife_ in the same way that it has forgotten the stacks of Jackie Collins and Jilly Cooper novels currently weighing down the shelves at my local Village Thrift. To be fair to a first novel, one might overlook the sloppy writing, slapdash editing, undercooked characters and total disregard for setting and place, but the painfully bad grammar and immature rhetoric made this novel a fairly uncomfortable read.Though the storyline is a cracking one and the plot moves fairly quickly, _The Time Traveler's Wife_ is a thoroughly amateur effort, and I am only grateful that it took so little time to read. Perhaps Niffenegger should stick to printmaking and leave the real writing to professionals. Looking forward to seeing this one in the discount bin.
