So far I have not finished reading the book I started in London, The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger writer. No, better not think about what this says about the time devoted to reading, are barely 500 pages and half had already read there, I'm embarrassed if you think about ... Although, if I stop to think, read a lot actually read, rather than watch TV (no) or similar movies and (infrequently), it is what I read newspapers, comics in half hour I polished them to me or, as now, some among the dozens of RSS feed reader I have to ... Unresolved, but ...
Well, the book in question tells the story of Henry DeTamble, librarian at the Newberry of Chicago, and Clare Abshire, an artist and paper sculpture. Henry and Clare are known since he was 36 years and Clare was 6, 1977, although they are not the first time, the Newberry Library until 1991, when Henry is 28 years and has 20 in Clare. Confused? No, I am not wrong ... Henry suffers from a genetic dysfunction (and here comes in what the Yankees say Suspension of disbelief) that makes it jump so uncontrollable that time, during brief intervals in the present, past and future. Because every time you jump is good for first time in an unknown, at least in principle, and also without clothes and without means, has developed tactics of defense and thieves that make slums of Chicago known as the Boy Library, which made me very funny, hehehehe ....
The novel is divided into short chapters that alternate points of view of Henry, always jumping a moment to another, and Clare, who end up being his wife. At first I thought that at some point in the novel, there would be some mystery or threat, or will give more explanations about the condition of Henry, which would suquillo a bit of intrigue and excitement, but I ended up accepting half a book that was not the case and that I was simply faced with a unique love story, with the obstacles that the condition can mean the protagonist, but nothing more (nor less) than this, and once I enjoy coming to this conclusion further reading, as I said very appropriate for its structure at short times I spent there. The end, as you can imagine, is both romantic and touching ... A track takes place in 2053, although Henry, exhausted and spent (would rather wasted, but I do not know if it translated well) for many jumps, had died very, very before .... A reading, therefore, highly recommended, especially if like me you have a sensitive soul ... ;)
Ah, there's movie! I would say not released here. The star Eric Bana, Rachel McAdams and Ron Livingston, and I leave the trailer below, you will see for the first time while I had my saved until you finish the book ...
