Audrey Niffenegger: The Time Traveler's Wife

So I asked Ms. Wescott which book to read:
The House of Sand and Fog
The Time Traveler's Wife
Running With Scissors
or
The Archivist

Her recommendation
<--

Yeah.

A VERY quick read for a 500+ page book, with a very interesting story (and awesome setting--I remember all the neighborhoods/streets referenced in Chicago!!)

But, overall this book gets an underwhelming "eh."

While I appreciate the originality, the cheeseball romance is definitely not my style. Also, there were points in the book that I wanted to punch the author in the face--the text got off-track and rambled and got to be TOO much. But, I am glad I read this. I don't think I would recommend it though...
