The Time Traveler's Wife.
Officially the best book I have ever read.
Again. I'm not a professional writer so it's not really my fault if this will sound a bit too amateur-ish. lol.
To quote some reviews. Original. Utterly convincing. Wonky. Poignant. Rare. Masterpiece.
I have read a lot of novels and nothing compares to the mystery and magic of the book.
I couldn't even find the right words to describe it.
Reading the synopsis alleviated my curiosity.
This is the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry who met when Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty.
And it started to grow as a fascination when I read the first chapter.
First Date, One (Saturday, october 26, 1991 (Henry is 28, Clare is 20)
And it gets even more interesting as you turn every page.
It was pure beauty amidst all the complications of mixed dates.
It made me even think if time traveling is real.
Niffenegger wrote it as though our genetic material could've been wrong and I could've been like Henry.
You know, go back in time to see my parent's first date.
There was only a teeny tiny pinch of that love triangle crap. And that's always a good thing.
There's just so much love that it teaches us to believe that it is a mortal sin to be hopeless in life.
I finished the first two-thirds of the book in no time. But as I saw the remaining pages getting thinner and thinner. i tried to read one page a night to prolong its ending. lol.
But Audrey wrote the ending with a big surprise,
A surprise with a big heart, that you could not ask for anything more.
Had a hard time hiding my Henry tears from my room mates too. lol.
A perfect way to end a masterpiece.
I will write my movie reviews come August 14th!
I'm not putting my hopes too high though so I would not get disappointed.
I will let the film surprise me as it is.

The last page. You probably can't read it so it's not a spoiler alert after all.

smelling every page of my book.. :-D.. adik!

Highlighted parts.
Last paragraph.
An unpleasant Scene.
