Back Cover: A most untraditional
love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing,
adventuresome librarian who involuntarily travels through time, and Clare
Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and
Clare’s passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an
impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds
of love.
This is one of those stories that
you will always remember reading. Henry who has no choice in when he travels or
even where he travels through time, feels lost till he finds Clare. Who excepts
him and what he can do after so many have never been able to. At times you can
tell that they both have many questions about destiny and predestination. But
they both seem to just work. And as much as Henry hates to make Clare wait she
can’t help herself. She is totally his. I really loved this book.
Ok so I’ve also seen the movie. As
the movie compares to the book, I will always say that the book is better then
the movie as there is only so much that you can put into a movie. Not to say I
didn’t like the movie. There just isn’t enough time for you to put all that
happens into a two hours or even two and a half hours. For a movie rendition I
liked it. But I did find that I like the book more. There are a few changes so
that everything fits together. They also have slightly different endings. But
all in all it is a good portrayal of the book, and I did enjoy it.
