The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
slow-paced
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
1.0
I was drawn to this after seeing it pop up on an Isaac from Heart Stopper reading list and although the time travel premise was intriguing, I found it disappointing and difficult to get through.
I did not develop any emotional connections to the two central characters, to the point where I found Claire quite unlikeable. The racial stereotypes were offensive, as was the lack of any strong female characters.
I also felt the references to classic music, punk, art, the live music scene, foreign languages and Greek mythology added very little to the story and came off as pretentious and cringey.
