A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.

An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

 "Nice Fluff Reading" 2009-08-29
By AlySedai (NN, VA)
I'll be honest. I had owned this book for some time, but didn't pick it up to read it until the movie came out. I'm one of those people who refuses to see the movie if I haven't read the book.



I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up the book. At first, the whole plot seems a little absurd. Here's a man who time travels around with seemingly no explanation, rhyme, or reason. But then the story got to me. And I got to thinking. It is more than just that. This is a love story (sure, at some points it borders on cheezy Harlequinesqe plot) that asks the question do we have any choice with whom we fall in love? When Henry first comes to Claire, he is so in love with her...and he basically pushes her toward being in love with him. But he is in his 40's and she is only 6. Then, in the future, Claire finally meets Henry...who has no idea who she is. And she is so deeply in love with him, that he cannot help but fall in love with her. It's an interesting paradox. They basically have zero choice in the matter of the relationship. I think that's one of the most interesting things about this book.



All in all, it is a good fluff read. If you enjoy a good love story, it's a great book to curl up with and read. It has an interesting story, lots of romance, and deals with some serious topics, if albeit very briefly. Sure, some of the characters could have been explored more in depth, and that probably would have made the book stronger. It is, however, a good read which doesn't require a whole lot of thought to get into...which, for a summer read, is perfect.

 "Entertaining but not a challenge" 2009-08-29
By Book Dork (Southern California)
The Time Traveler's Wife is the type of book you bring to the beach, the airport, or the doctor's office; entertaining but definitely not a literary challenge.



What Made Me Finish:

- The actual premise of the novel, time travel and how it connects two people throughout their lives, was interesting and unique.

- The skipping around through different time periods was fun and nostalgic.

- Niffenegger does a good job capturing and describing the emotions the characters feel during the various phases of their lives.

- While I do have issues with the writing, I will say that the author does use foreshadowing in an effective way. Certain events and situations are alluded to throughout the novel that make you want to continue reading in order to find out what really does happen.



Problems

- Every time the narration switches from Henry to Clare the author indicates this with a name heading. I found this very unnecessary; the reader should be perceptive enough to determine who's narrating by the style, tone, and events. I feel that she is writing "for the masses," assuming that the people who are reading aren't intelligent enough to figure this out. While this may be the case, let us all remember the Pygmalion Effect.

- The writing as a whole isn't impressive; descriptions often seemed forced, as does several instances of dialogue.

- At times certain elements of time travel became repetitive; I understand that Henry is naked every time he travels. I don't need to be told every time this happens that he is embarrassed, running around naked and trying to find clothes. It's a given.

- I felt that there should have been more attention paid to the idea and struggle of changing fate; it appeared to be an underlying theme in the novel when it probably should have been more prominent.



I appreciated the imagination that went into developing the plot and characters but was a little disappointed in the literary quality. I recommend it as a "fun book," perhaps sandwiched between some Dostoyevsky and DeLillo.

 "Neat concept but poor execution" 2009-08-29
By Amazon Buyer
I give this book kudos for being a page turner and for having a really neat concept done quite well. My problem with this book is that character development. The book coins itself as an epic love story, and yet I never really feel the love. The emotions and the reasons behind them do not seem very real. For this reason, I never really fell in love with the characters like I have in other "romance" novels like "The Notebook."



Pros: Very interesting concept

Cons: Poor character development

 "read this years ago..." 2009-08-29
By ChristyW (Virginia)
I read this book a few years ago & it is still one of my favorite reads. It is like no other book you will ever read. It is heartwreching, wonderful, unique love story with a time travel element. This books is tragic & beautiful. I cannot say enough about it. It's so different that it's hard to explain...just read it!

 "Review of The Time Traveler's Wife" 2009-08-29
By P. R. Lewis (Southeast LA, USA)
The format of the novel is that of reading journal entries for the two main characters, Henry and Clare. Since time travel is involved, the entries are listed giving the date and the age of the characters, however, not in chronological order. This provides the reader with a feel for the spontaneity of time travel. The novel is neither boring nor predictable. I found that the journalistic format allows the reader to develop a personal understanding and an attachment to the characters and to the unique situation they endure throughout their lives. Without giving the story away, I'll say that I enjoyed it immensely - it kept my interest, kept me reading long after I should have been asleep, and had me going through a full range of emotions. The characters had a deep love for one another, but I can't imagine trying to sustain a relationship under the hardship created by time traveling. All in all a very good book. Well-crafted writing; the author fills the book with detailed descriptions that create visions in the reader's mind. The author has given the timeworn idea of a romance novel a unique twist for the enjoyment of her readers. You won't go wrong with this book. It's a keeper.

 "Reads like a first draft" 2009-08-05
By Peter Wright (Portland, OR United States)
Paranoia reads like a first draft -- lacks polish and development, character, richness of setting. The result is a bland walk through the life of a jaded protagonist. There is fodder for a good tale here, though in this packaged it's severely underdeveloped. Like other reviewers, I found myself skimming faster and faster as I moved through the book, very disappointed in the overall experience.



Normally, I'd simply stop reading, and wouldn't give much time to writing in about books I don't enjoy. In this case, there appears to be a more systemic problem: The notion of the free download for the Kindle is suspect. That this book has been propelled to the top of the downloads list naturally is bunk, and further illustrates for me that the best sellers list is likely contaminated with publisher kickbacks.

 "Yes, yes, yes, super good read" 2009-08-05
By Gina K (PA, USA)
Come on folks, this Kindle book is for FREE and it is great! I laughed, I bit my nails. I read nonstop. The story starts off with a disgruntled cubicle dweller who decides to make a stand by hacking into the corporate account to fund a retirement party for the loading dock guy. Funny and immature, our hero is quickly caught and thrown into a "deal with the devil," his boss. Spy on a competitor or get turned in and go to jail. So off he goes, playing undercover employee in the competitor company. Can he pull off finding out the biggest secret the rivals have while trying to stay sane with a crazy father? And, he grows, in maturity, commitment, responsibility. Lots of suspenseful moments as he meanders his way through the new place only to land squarely at the top, as right hand guy to the big gun. Then, in another evolutionary step, his remaining shred of conscience kicks in and he decides that HE will start calling the shots....Won't spoil the story by giving away the ending, but after you read it, tell me...did you REALLY see it coming? Can't wait for a sequel.

 "The need for sleep is the only reason I put this book down..." 2009-08-04
By C. Webb
This book literally kept me awake at nights. It's so engrossing and exciting that I just couldn't put it down--I literally just passed out reading it each night and woke up the next morning starting it again. Luckily I was on vacation when I began it. I haven't felt this way about a book in a long time and I'm just so excited to have found a great new author to add to my favorites!

 "Engrossing Corporate Thriller From Beginning to End!!" 2009-08-04
By Kevin Currie-Knight (Newark, Delaware)
I often have a hard time with thrillers. One reason for this is that most of the ones I've read tend to have very lackluster characters. Another reason is that too many thrillers I've read cross the line of believability and become so unreal that it becomes hard to take them seriously.



This is why I was pleasantly surprised by Joseph Finder's "Paranoia." The main character, reluctant corporate spy Adam Cassidy, is quite well drawn, as is his relationships to other characters. Needless to say, the plot is very well thought out and well paced. (This is "needless to say" because I understand that this is typical of Finder's novels). While this very complex tale of corporate espionage and con-artistry could have become over-the-top and unbelievable, Finder straddles the line well between being intriguing and still staying plausible.



What I liked best about Paranoia was Finder's ability to convey the main character's struggle with the divided loyalty of espionage. Who is Cassidy working for: the "former" boss who is blackmailing him into being a mole, or the "new" employer who he is spying on (but growing to like)? And can Adam Cassidy keep his stories straight when telling different people different things in order to avoid detection? The ending, while not entirely unforeseeable, is quite marvelous and strangely satisfying.



Paranoia is a top-notch thriller with unbelievable intensity. For a 484 pager, it moves suprisingly well. Quite simply, this is a book that any thriller fan (especially those who frantasize about the business world beyond cubicles and spreadsheets) should not miss!

 "Nonstop Intensitiy" 2009-08-04
By A. Dobbs (Kingsport, TN USA)
I could not put the book down until I finished. There was excitement and suspense lurking around every chapter. The chapters seemed to end with a cliffhanger wanting you to jump right into the next chapter. This is the first book I've read by this author, but will probably not be the last.

 "Weber Gas Grill Spirit E-320" 2009-07-10
By Christian Hermosillo (Blue Bell, PA USA)
I received the grill a few weeks ago it is easy to assemble definitely worth the money. I read a few reviews concerning other grills that were less expensive and I realized that when it comes to outdoor cooking you pay for what you get. This is a good grill, it heats evenly, it's sturdy and it is an attractive grill to boot. The one thing that I wish came with this grill is more room up top, but other than that I am really enjoying it.

 "THE BEST!" 2009-06-28
By msbiz
Well...you get what you pay for is still true! After going through countless (bargain!) gas grills, we finally bit the bullet and decided to get "the best" and trust the reviews of other buyers of Weber grills. We are not disappointed! As a cookbook author, I have many occasions to entertain and treat guests and family to delicious grilled food. I have never gotten a sear as good from any grill I've ever owned before this Weber. It's amazing how much more delicious a seared piece of meat can taste. You need a grill with a lot of spunk to get hot enough to do the job. This Weber does it well. O.K., it's not the top 'o the line in the Weber lineup, but for the home cook, it can't be beat for the money. I may just have to get one for our son and his family.

 "Great Grill - Easy Assembly" 2009-06-26
By S. C. Jenkins (Mineral, Va)
I searched around and found Amazon to have the lowest price with free delivery which is quite costly on other sites. Received the grill when Amazon said I would, in good condition. I found the assembly of this grill to be the easiest I have ever put together, as most grills have so many nuts, bolts etc, this had one package. I was done in about 1 hour. All the parts fit together without having to force anything.

We have used this grill almost every day since getting it and we are amazed at the difference in the way this grill cooks as compared to our previous grill, which was a Char-Broil Stainless Steel Commercial from Lowes. There is no comparison, the Weber is soooooo much better. A minor point but a good one, the igniter actually works, the first time every time. I would highly recommend this grill. It's pricey, but so far (about a month) it has been worth every penny.

 "Great Grill, but they let out a cookbook!" 2009-06-21
By MysteryMan (Los Angeles)
This is an excellent grill with simple assembly instructions. I was very surprised to discover that Weber does not include one of their grill cookbooks with this unit. Anyone spending over $900 for a grill should at least receive one of weber's many cookbooks with their purchase!

 "Weber Doesn't Disappoint!" 2009-06-08
By C. Soto (Miami, FL)
First time use was a pleasure, all that I expected. I have used the grill once with huge success, based on the crowd pleasing ribs it produced. It got very hot, very quickly, but also maintained a nice low heat once I got used to burner adjustments. I'm new to Weber gas grills (I love my kettle) but I'm no stranger to their reputation of quality and consistency.



I looked and looked at the competition, half hoping to find something that would sway me away from a Weber, but I kept coming back to "old" reliable Weber. Sure lots of other grills offered more bells and whistles(searing burners, fridge, IR rear burners)at the same price point, but none seemed to offer the material and build quality of the Weber line. Plus I feel confident that when it's time for parts, I'll actually find them for my Weber, not so with some discontinued brand X competitor.



Now I will admit that I wish Weber had gone to front-mount controls by now on the Spirit and Genesis lines as they have for some time with the Summit line. If I have one knock on the grill, it would be on burner layout. Time will tell if it becomes an issue or not. Based on reviews and product demos on [...], I don't suspect that it will.



Overall great grill but not cheap, at the end of the day you end up trading features for quality. I'll take quality all day.

 "Top of the line" 2009-04-17
By J. C. Adkins (Pittsburgh, Pa)
Based on other reviews and the high caliber of the Weber line, I purchased this grill. The shipment actually arrived the day before it was promised. No damage.

The instructions, once I figured out how to use them, were the best I've ever encountered. It took 10-15 minutes to figure them out, since they were pictoral and had virtually no narrative explanation. For each step, one had to consult three different sheets. Weber would do a service by including a sheet explaining this to the assembler. Once the assembly instructions were understood, it took only about 1-1/2 hours to put the grill together. The materials are solid, and the design is appealing.

The grill works like a charm! Heat control is accurate. A nice cookbook is included, and it includes tips on how to maximize the utility of the grill.

I couldn't recommend it more highly!



7/14/09--I've edited this review to reflect 3 months of hard use. I continue to be delighted with it. It is very, very easy to clean using just Windex. I bought one of the griddle accessories (Weber 7532 Cast Iron Griddle)that Weber makes specifically for the grill, and you can turn out dozens of sliders in no time. (We made 180 for a graduation party!)

Doing chicken, burgers, steaks, and fish is a snap. I did need a bit of time to appreciate how hot this natural gas model will get, but the heat controls allow both direct and indirect heat.

Finally, I elected to buy the Veranda Cart Barbecue Cover, Medium, Pebble, up to 58-inches Wide cover rather than the Weber cover. The large size fits this grill perfectly. This cover is sturdy and very attractive.

 "Wonderful , Even Cooking Grill! " 2009-03-11
By Linda S. Knigge
Our son purchased the Weber S-310 (best prices are from Amazon)and we enjoyed food from his grill. So we purchased the S-320 with the side burner. This grill produces evenly cooked and very moist foods. Another bonus is no more propane tanks to buy! We love it! We also purchased the Weber grill cover and light that fits to the handle for evening cooking. Thank you Amazon for the speedy delivery.

 "Shipping damage" 2008-11-28
By TedT (Ventura, California USA)
Great grill, cooks well, however...



1)Box arrived with exterior damage. The grill has a gash in the stainless steel lid. Now every time I cook I get to contemplate what CEVA trucking could have stabbed through the box. Weber could also do a better job of packaging so that the most visible part of the grill is not the front bumper for this type of abuse. If the package arrives in damaged condition don't accept it.



2) Weber decided to put the in the clevis pins holding the lid to the oven with out the securing clips. The result is disastrous. One pin fell out during shipping. When the lid is opened it twists side ways and drops over the back, bending the sole pin 90 degrees. If this had broken the pot metal hinge on the oven it would be the end of the line for Weber S-320



3) Don't undertake assembly unless you get a true sense of accomplishment from that sort of ordeal. Took about four hours. Get and electric screwdriver and a socket wrench.



Good Luck!

The Weber Genesis gas grill was an instant favorite in this house! It replaced a 14-year old Weber grill, but it has many upgrades.

 "Weber Genesis Gas Grill" 2009-07-15
By James F. Rowell
The Genesis S-310 met or exceeded our expectations in all areas of performance. I would recommend it to any one who wants a high quality product. If you follow the cooking guides provided by Weber the results are excellent. The cost was much higher than competitive products but the quality and end results make it worthwhile.

 "Worth the investment" 2009-07-15
By George J. Skandalaris (Highland, MI)
The Weber Genesis S-310 is worth every penny spent. It is built to last and works to perfection. The burners are truly adjustable for a quick sear as well as low temperature slow cooking. Assembling took an hour. Again the investment, in this instance in time, is well worth the effort. To put this thing together is to understand just how well built it is. If you buy this model you will be impressed in every way.

 "Weber is the Best!!" 2009-06-29
By Ray Sims (Dallas, Texas)
This unit arrived in a heavy duty carton, assembeled in 2 hours (reading the directions) and was fully operational upon assembly. My previous Weber was great but this one is the perfect size. It heats to 600+ degrees in less than 5 minutes and cooks exceptionally well.

 "Great Grill...poor installation instructions" 2008-09-03
By W. Burks (Mountain View, CA USA)
The weber genesis grill S310 is a very fine product. It has all the cooking power one needs for a "typical" family of four. It provides a great looking stainless steel exterior and is easy to clean up.



My only hesitation and warning is to have a lot of patience for those putting the grill together as I did. It comes in what seems like a million pieces and the instructions (just graphic drawings) are not very helpful. Other buyers have noted the same issue so be prepared for several hours of "hell" if you dont enjoy trial and error and figuring out the jigsaw puzzel.

 "It's pretty good but there's a lot of hype in other reviews" 2008-06-30
By C. R. Miller (Los Angeles, CA)
Like many people, I scoured reviews on Amazon and elsewhere trying to get a feel for which BBQs were the best in the $500-$800 category--as many have, I've bought the $150 special at Target only to be disappointed with the cooking performance and longevity. Weber grills kept showing up with 5 star ratings, particularly the Genesis E310/S310 models.



I ended up buying a Genesis S-310 from a local brick and mortar store because I didn't have time to wait for shipping from an internet store. Be aware, this grill comes in a HUGE box, weighs 160 lbs. and may be subject to some interstate freight drop-kicking which probably won't hurt what's inside. Your first hurdle will be assembly--the instructions are TERRIBLE. Anyone who tells you they put it together in under an hour is either a liar or assembles grills for a living. In my case, it took 3 tool-handy men about 3 hours to assemble it. For example, one part in step one has to be installed in a certain orientation or the firebox in step 12 won't drop in correctly. Guess who installed it the wrong way and had to undo the work when the grill was already 50% assembled? Another issue we had with the instructions was that there are 4 different types of screws used, but the screws for the door handles were actually different than the ones shown in the instructions--at the end of assembly, we realized that the 4 screws left over were for the handles.



Let's talk about the "stainless steel" on this grill. The lid, handles, grills and doors are stainless steel. The shiny side shelves and other surfaces are stainless veneer, so to speak--bent metal that covers a painted frame. The firebox is some kind of powdercoated metal, but it ain't stainless. It's just an eye-opener to see all the non-stainless steel parts that are covered up as you assemble the grill.



The grill works very nicely--with the 3 burners going, you can easily get the internal temp over 500 degrees F and steaks, fish, and burgers sear quickly and with little sticking on the stainless steel rods. So after using it a few times, I had to replace my LP tank (as I'd started with a 1/2 full one) and then the fun really began! The new tank went on...and no gas would come out. Looked in the instructions, tried what it said, fiddled with the connectors, tried manual lighting...even called Weber who cheerfully tried to talk me through another set of instructions. NO GAS. I had guests waiting to be fed. One guest suggested opening the tank valve just ever-so-slightly so a little gas would flow...and voila! the grill lit up on the first click of the ignitor! Turns out if your tank is filled 100%, the pressure regulator won't let gas flow if you open the valve wide open, so by opening the valve just a little the regulator lets gas flow--essentially bleeding the tank--and after your first grilling session, the tank pressure is no longer high enough to trigger the safety mechanism. Despite the excellent Weber phone service--even on a Sunday afternoon--this scenario wasn't covered in the manual or on the phone.



My bottom line: this is a excellent-performing grill--if you pay full list price it's not a great deal. Considering the premium price, the fit and finish is underwhelming. I haven't had any grills in this price range before this purchase, so I can't compare. But I liked the long warranty and you can't beat the responsiveness of the Weber support staff--that is definitely NOT hype!
