The Time Traveller's Wife
I never knew a book or words in general would make me feel such eurphric love towards my girlfriend, which already exists every day of my life. But the settings and scenes in this book reminds me of times spent with my lover and it makes me swoon more then a 13 year old girl at a John Mayer concert. The book was written with love and it pours from its pages.
I’ve only read about 30+ pages, and it has drawn me in so deeply. Theres one part where Henry goes back in time to look after himself as he first time travelled. He met his previous self at the age of five and toured himself around an old museum pretending to be a special tour guide just for his pre-future friend.
Anyways, i’ve only read a few pages so i’m not going to sit here and on-slaught you with a massive review, although it’s so tempting to just get up and scream to everyone what i’ve read so far.
Once i’ve finished reading i’ll give this book the review it deserves but beware i’ll probably scream every spoiler possible at you!
As i was saying before this book pours love from the pages and straight into your heart. It makes you seclude yourself from reality and remember all the beautiful times you’ve spent with a loved one. For me it was Rachael and it almost made me want slam the emergency exit button on the train doors and start running home for a massive cuddle and kiss!
Anyways, heres an extract from page nine, this book is incredible. No wonder Rachael has been egging me on non-stop to read it for 6 months. What took me so long!
Extract:
I lean back and stretch out on the sofa, bringing Clare along with me by gripping her under the arms and pulling; the velvet dress makes her slippery and she slithers into the space between my body and the back of the sofa like a velvet eel. She is facing me and I am propped up by the arm of the sofa. I can feel the length of her body pressing against mine through the thin fabric. Part of me is dying to go leaping and licking and diving in, but I’m exhausted and overwhelmed.
