If you haven't read The Time Traveler's Wife, get up immediately - bust your bum to the nearest bookstore/library what have you and get it.
Its amazing.
They're coming out with the movie version this summer and I'm kind of excited/nervous. The second I got done with this book I begged the movie heavens to make a film out of it. But you never know, books-into-movies are either fabulous or not so much. And I want this to be fabulous. What if its not as beautiful as it is in my head? What if they don't do it the right way?
The rundown- without giving anything away:
Rachel McAdams as Claire. YES. you had me at mean girls and i loved you in the notebook.
Eric Bana as Henry. NOT SURE. no idea, someone give me the downlow on this guy. hes got quite a jaw.
Ron Livingston as Gomez. NO. Ron, I want to you like you. First you're Burger on SATC and i just never really liked you even though I wanted to. Now you're Gomez, who I never really could get a grip on and then wanted to hit with a bat. Sooo i'm going to say bad call, but I hope you surprise me.
As you can see, this averages out to whothehellknows. It comes out in August and I will there on opening day - because I love this story. And I want it to translate so beautifully.
Go read the book!

Eric Bana is awesome, he is an Aussie after all :P
I haven't read the book though, so I can't tell you how well suited he will be. But I love him :D
omg. i heart this book..i read it last summer and i still miss having henry & claire in my life. i'm worried about the movie too..
i hope it's good.
p.s. have you read any of her other books?
xo
i am a goon for books. i have no idea what this one is about, but i will be adding it to my 3-page-long amazon wishlist!!!
hells bells. i went ahead and ordered a used copy. $6.88 with shipping. yay. i am worth it.
cool...I'll totally give this book a shot!
Oh I've never read the book but I love Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana I can't wait!
I haven't heard of this book until now! The title and the cover intrigue me though! Oh I know what you mean; movie versions of books never quite live up to the images in our minds.... perfect example:"Chocolat". Cute enough movie, (Johnny Depp helps) but a really really pissweak, watered down take on the actual book.
I LOVED this book, but read it years ago. Maybe I am due for a re-read before the movie comes out... but I have to say I am a little skeptical about Eric Bana... hmmmmm. But what can we expect - How many movies are as good as the book?
Omg, I loved this book so much and can't wait to see the movie. I think I posted/freaked out when I first heard they were making a movie. So exciting!
I love this book! Read it a couple years ago. This is the first I heard about a movie though. Excellent! I think I will need to re-read the book!
