I really enjoyed it and will see it again. I love stuff about time travel and like to question how and why, leaves for to my imagination. I have never read the book though.

Haha not me.

Humiliation by pink 12 yo clothes and amputated feet is more than plenty.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The book is one of my favorites. I would have liked to see the awful things Henry went through when he traveled more, and at the end I would have liked to see Clare as an 80 yr old.

Aw, I’m sorry you didn’t like it more. I haven’t seen the movie but I loved the book. The only downside to me was the fact that the language didn’t always match the sentiments, i.e., too much swearing. I tried not to ask too many questions about the time travel, but I liked the way the relationship developed, so they must not have portrayed it very well in the film.

I read the book and STILL have those questions. It’s never explained why/how he jumps, but in the book at least it is explained that he’s in the past/future for different time lengths (just not the hows or whys).

I found Henry to be very selfish concerning Claire, and rather child-like when something bad happens to him. He’s almost blase when it concerns others, since he has this ‘burden’ of the time jumping, but he can’t cope when it’s him.

I disliked the book on many levels, not the least was the giant plot hole a Transformer could fly through towards the end. (No spoilers, here, though.) 2 stars for the book is about accurate. For me at least.

I don’t know – if the movie is accurate in showing mini-conversations before another jump I don’t see how there could be time for her to learn about him and fall in love with him.

That’s something Clare accuses him of when he tells her about his vasectomy.

What is it about Henry that would make Claire fall in love with him an marry him knowing he has this problem? Love is about sacrifice, but having her husband jump through time at a moment’s notice? He should have stayed far away and never allowed himself to contact her or see her because that is just plain selfish on his part.

But that Eric Bana is sure nice to look at.
