The Time Traveler's Wife

I'm reading this book now :)

Well, actually I got this book from 2 of my good friends for my Birthday 2 years ago. Yeah... I know it takes too long for me to start reading it (Ali and Ening, I'm sorry...). It's because I have some unread books in my book shelve and I didn't spend too much time in reading in the last 2 years and maybe it's also because I watch TV too much since I subscribe cable TV with so many interesting channels!

This book has 560 pages and still about 200 pages to go for me to finish it. I like this book, the first chapter was a bit confusing and boring but then after.... I can't wait to know the end of the story! The story is unusual, the author takes us to another world of Henry Detamble.

For further and better review, please read the following review that I got from http://www.amazon.com/:

"On the surface, Henry and Clare Detamble are a normal couple living in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Henry works at the Newberry Library and Clare creates abstract paper art, but the cruel reality is that Henry is a prisoner of time. It sweeps him back and forth at its leisure, from the present to the past, with no regard for where he is or what he is doing. It drops him naked and vulnerable into another decade, wearing an age-appropriate face. In fact, it's not unusual for Henry to run into the other Henry and help him out of a jam. Sound unusual? Imagine Clare Detamble's astonishment at seeing Henry dropped stark naked into her parents' meadow when she was only six. Though, of course, until she came of age, Henry was always the perfect gentleman and gave young Clare nothing but his friendship as he dropped in and out of her life. It's no wonder that the film rights to this hip and urban love story have been acquired."
