Summary:
Audrey Niffenegger's romantic novel The Time Traveler's Wife tells the tender story of Henry and Clare, a married couple, whose relationship is as unique as is every love affair. Niffenegger takes the concept of time out of the linear sequence that we are familiar with, and turns it inside out and upside down. Bookclub-in-a-Box explores both inside and outside the boundaries of Niffenegger's concepts of love, relationships and time. The exploration looks at how the author's narrative structure and her symbols highlight the circular nature of time and interconnected lives. The discussion guide will also look at why this novel is often categorized as science fiction. Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style and interesting background information on the novel and the author.

Don't waste your money

This book is nothing more than character descriptions and plot summary. The author's idea of "analysis" involves questions such as, is it science fiction, or who would you cast in the movie version? The insights in this book are very low level and superficial, and sometimes even irrelevant. Here is an excerpt: "Time travel is what life is all about. While we are in the midst of the moment, we might possibly be aware of it, but in reality, we pass through it very quickly because we are busy. Once the moment is past, we relive it through memory. Time travel is a metaphorical link to the past, more so than to the future." In addition to being an inane insight, this "information" is not linked to any analysis relevant to the book. Instead, it is in a separate section in which the author treats the general concept of time travel.

Really, this is completely useless, even for a high school level reader. Plus, it is fairly expensive. Just save your money.

Great for book group discussion moderators

After reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" and thoroughly enjoying it & needing to prepare to lead a book group discussion on the novel, I decided to pick up this "Bookclub-in-a-Box" offering. I enjoyed the well organized & well written summaries & sections on literary devices, character/plot analysis and information regarding the author. I was able to gain new insight on the book & was well prepared for the discussion. This is not a "Cliff's Notes" type of book (though it does give away much of the plot, obviously). This is a great companion guide for book group discussion members and moderators.
