The Time Traveler’s Wife Audio Book Summary:
The Time Traveler’s Wife is the unique story of Clare and Henry. A seemingly ordinary and happy couple if not for Henry’s strange condition, for you see, Henry is the very first human that was diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder. Simply put, his genetic clock periodically resets and he finds himself in a different time period, the first time traveler. Unfortunately, Henry cannot control this condition and the tale is told in both Henry’s and Clare’s point of view as they struggle to have a normal life.
This unique take on the notion of time travel and the possible effect it can have if it is an uncontrollable condition paints a powerful and heart wrenching tale of love and an unforgettable story that blends science fiction with the powerful human emotion.

Reactions:
“This is a “must read” for original and vital usage of time travel as a “plot device”. Most Time Travel books are more about SETTING (distant futures or pasts) and TECHNOLOGY (plot devices) which limit the importance of what makes a good story GOOD CHARACTERS!” – Scott
“The Time Traveler’s Wife is one of my favorite books. That’s not to say that it’s perfect or a work of fiction that will change the face of American literature, but I found it very engaging and hard to put down. I think the idea is really fresh and well-executed.” – Joey
“This was a great book. It is destine to become a classic. I am not easily brought to tears but I was sobbing, and literally wailing, while doing the dishes as I listened to one of the poignant scenes of this unique and wonderful novel.” – Michael
“The story is read well, but the female narrator doesn’t do men’s voices that well and there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when they switch from male to female narrators. That being said, it was one of the better books I have listened to this year.” – Jim
“I found the idea of this book interesting and was initially enthusiastic, but the single-minded romantic focus wore thin after a while. (Will they or won’t they get together? We already know they will. Do they have any other interests in life? Apparently not.) – Luisa M. Deckard
