The Time Travelers Wife

OMG! I love this book... but I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers. It's about a guy named Henry who time travels, but he can't control when he goes or comes. This book is really weird though because when he is older he travels back in time and meets a girl named Clare. only when he meets her she is six and he is thirty something. In present time though they only have an eight year age difference... I think. Over time he always returns back to Clare's house and they build a strong friendship. So, when she gets older and he meets her in the present they are about the same age. Long story short, they get married and have one daughter named Alba. I finished the book last night and it is soooo sad. I won't say exactly how it happens, in case any of you guys want to read it, but he dies. Obviously!!! It is so sad though the way it happens,. Early on in the book he gets shot, and you think it going to end there but of course there is so much of the story left it can't be like that. What you don't know at that point is that he was older then and so when he is that age in his present he dies. It's amazing how attached you can get to characters in a book, any ways it was really really sad. But you should definitely read it!!
