The Time Traveler's Wife Movie Review

I think, if you were following my live tweets you'd be able to tell since I didn't tweet nearly as much as I usually do. I was far too engrossed in watching. There were aspects I didn't like as much as in the books, but there were also a few moments I liked even better than the book!

I don't like the synopsis that IMDB.com offers:
A romantic drama about a Chicago librarian with a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the complications it creates for his marriage.

What do you think? I honestly would not watch that movie, it sounds boring. Ha!

I loved both Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, I think they did a great job. I especially loved Brooklynn Proulx, she as adorable and perfect!

I was a little sad we didn't get to see Kimy, she was, by far, my favorite character.

And a last little "did you know" for your reading pleasure: Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt bought the film rights to the novel before it was released to the public. Pitt was a producer of the film, apparently he had some good feelings about it!

How did you like the movie? Did you think they did the book justice?

The Time Traveler's Wife Book Review

I'm a little behind on posts, but I'm working on catching up, I promise!

This is a copy of the review of The Time Traveler's Wife I posted on to Google Books:

As a club we read The Time Travelers Wife in July 2015. This is a story of a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to travel in and out of time. It is a love story that starts for her when she is 6 and he is 36, but it doesn't start for him until she is 22 and he is 28. I enjoyed this story very much. Niffenegger uses foreshadowing a new and very interesting way that allowed emotions to be felt through anticipation and shock. I was amazed by the writing. However, there were many points that were just uninteresting or really didn't have anything to do with the story that just took away from the overall telling. I gave this story three stars, not because it wasn't good, but because it wasn't great.

MOVIE IN THEATERS OCTOBER 2, 2015

Amazon synopsis:

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
