Moving, but worth the heartbreak

At its core The Time Traveler's Wife is an old-fashioned love story. A terrific book - startlingly original construction

I was ridiculously entranced by Audrey Niffenegger's big, reckless novel...utterly convincing

Niffenegger exploits the possibilities of her fantasy scenario with immense skill: no wonder this novel has spent weeks on the bestseller lists in the US. This is one of those books that makes you want to eat it up from start to finish

Wonky, sexy, incredible

Pick up Niffenegger's book and you'll experience a visceral thrill that only a few novels provide. An elegy to love and loss

Truly original

Magical - memorable...poignant, amusing and intensely moving portrait of a unique relationship - quirky, romantic, and kept the right side of cute

The central story is so strong and touching...ingenious... A rare book

A sweet, original fantasy - its flights of authorial fancy balanced by down-to-earth characters and the matter-of-fact language

Henry's journeys back and forth are by turns slapstick noir and unbearably poignant, and Clare's child and teen narrations disturbingly pitch-perfect. Philosophical speculation occurs in the most unlikely devices and morality, despite the temptations of plot, remains intact. This is alarmingly close to perfection, and balm to the jaded

One of those books where you read the first paragraph and you're hooked... Unmissable

From the first page to the last, The Time Traveler's Wife works its unique magic... A beautiful, lyrical book

After I read it I wanted to share it with everybody, and even gave a copy to Madonna when she co-presented my show

Dark, unpredictable, incredibly clever and a modern romance

A delight

A love affair that will totally capture your heart

An irrestible romance

A beautifully written, compulsive look at a couple trying to live an ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances

An intriguing, often funny love story
