No cool special effects, light sabers, super heroes, aliens, wizards, capes or tights…??

Then why even bother? LOL

sorry guys, it’s a love story…no cool special effects, light sabers, super heroes,aliens,wizards, capes or tights…just a love story whose leading man pops in and out without rhyme or reason..and the woman who loves him anyway…it’s a brilliant story….even if Yoda is not there…give it a try..

I find the concept interesting, but I have to say that it’s not what I would want out of a story about a time-traveler’s relationship with a spouse. The time travel here strikes me as much more of an uncontrolled element (which gives the writer lots of dramatic control). Can’t say I’d watch this one, but I can see why it would appeal to others.

This is about as interesting as watching bamboo grow in a swamp while being exsanguinated by mosquitos…

I agree it works the other way but saying more would give too much away, I am currently reading this book and I have to say its one of the best novels I have ever read,I cant wait for the movie I just hope it does the book justice.

@ Iron Knight. Definitely recommend the book. Just don’t be expecting much sci-fi.

@jk90. Umm… No. It sort of works the other way around, but without giving anything away it’s a little difficult to explain.

So let me get this straight…the guy is a pedophile who stalks the girl until she is old enough to bang without him getting arrested?

@ Jay801 and Davemac 920

So do you recommend the book much?

Jay801….You nailed it..If your looking for sci-fi, you will have to look hard. It’s more of a romance/drama book. I too was drawn into reading it by the title, and found I could not stop reading.

@Gary
That’s the name of the film I was trying to remember: Somewhere in Time. Yeah, that movie was %99 romantic drama and %1 sci-fi. Was acted well but bored me.

@Gary

It sure has that vibe, doesn’t it? I wouldn’t expect a heck of a whole lot of sci-fi in this.

I coulnt help but wonder if the people behind this were
fans of the Christopher Reeve film Somewhere in Time.

Let me first say that I am a died in the wool Sci-Fi addict. That would explain why I read the novel. The title put me off…

Having said that, The Time Travellers Wife turned out to be one of my favourite books due to the way in which it was written, it just sort of sucks you in.

No, there’s not much of a Sci-Fi element… Don’t let the title fool you into thinking that. This is probably going to be a ‘Chick Flick’ guys, but I’m given how much I enjoyed the book, I won’t be letting that put me off. Hopefully they can do a decent job translating it to screen.

Guess we’ll see.
