Whenever I head to Kinokuniya to get my fix of books, I will walked past this book a few times but pick it up to read it until one day, something came over me that I stop in front of it and decide to read its excerpt on the back. I was intrigued by its love story (I’m sucker for it) so I decide to buy it and it only took me less than a week to finish the book. This is one love story which I don’t find it cheesy at all. Their love for each other was so strong that it makes you believe that their love is going to last them forever. Love can makes someone a better person but at the same time it can break someone into pieces.

Title: The Time Traveler’s Wife
Author: Audrey Niffenegger
Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars
What do you do when you meet the love of your life when you're six years old? And he's 36, but he's really only eight years older than you are? If you're Clare Abshire, you wait for each of his visits throughout the years until you meet him in real time.
Henry DeTamble is a time traveler, although not by choice. A genetic mutation causes him to spontaneously travel through time, disappearing from view, leaving behind his clothes and possessions, and arriving naked in another time and another place. For the most part, this is a curse. Henry often has to turn to petty crime to feed and clothe himself when he travels, and must run from people, thugs, or the police. Eventually Henry returns to his present time, bringing only the bodily injuries he's suffered back with him. Sometimes he travels back in time and visits an earlier version of himself. One of the places to which he travels often is the meadow behind Clare's house, and throughout her younger years, Clare meets him there and falls in love with him. Hope you will enjoy this book as much as I do. =)
