Rentable and Readable: THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE.
Five years ago my book club read THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE for one of the selections. I enjoyed the book, but I offer two caveats; firstly if the book had a rating it would be a hard R for sexuality. And secondly, I hated the first 250 pages. I kept thinking, "Okay, I get it. He time travels!" If you can get past those two snags, you'll enjoy the book. However, the film is an extremely sweet, PG-13 rating. It takes out many of the gratuitous elements that were cruel in the text. I really appreciated that the screen writers did their own take, making vast improvements to the screen play. Another plus: the actor {Eric Bana} who plays Henry is tres masculine and handsome. Go rent it with some girlfriends this weekend.
