I even spelled the word 'traveller' the American way in the title! This book is by Audrey Niffenegger, whom I'd never heard of before reading a review of this book which was so enthusiastic I added it to my Amazon wishlist, and received it for Christmas.

It should have been poignant - some reviewers have found it that way - but I didn't find much that moved me in this book. It should have had some tension, particularly in the latter parts, but I found myself not really caring enough to feel tense, although I was interested to know what happened. I also found myself a bit irritated by a rather excessive use of crude language that didn't seem either realistic or necessary. But having said all that, I'm glad I read it; it was thought-provoking in many ways, and I may well read it again in a few years.
