I just got finished reading The Time Traveler’s Wife.  I have to say, I was very interested in the plot but I had a really hard time empathizing with the characters.  I just found the story heart-wrenching and depressing and in the end, the characters weren’t worth the ache the book gave me.  And because it was so far beyond my reality, it was hard for me to find value in the little nuances of the story line, which I something I love to do, but just wasn’t able to with this book.  So now I’m on to Eat Love Pray.  I saw the author on Oprah and just had to run out and buy the book.  I didn’t watch the whole interview because I was totally enthralled by the first twenty minutes and I love a good book and didn’t want to hear any spoilers.  I’m on page 19 and I absolutely love it so far.  Elizabeth Gilbert is a fantastic storyteller!  I’ll keep you updated!
