The Time Traveller's Wife

I read The Time Traveller's Wife today. I saw the preview for the movie and it looked great (starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Banna) and I hate to see a movie without reading the novel first. I really liked the way it started off. It was excellent and I was hooked. I loved the first part of it but toward the end, I found my self disliking; probably, because I knew that it couldn't end well. Even though I hoped to the end.... Also it may have been because I could relate better during the beginning. Clare and Henry were younger, in their twenties and it focused a lot on the time that Henry spent with Clare in the Meadow, when she was a child. As the book progressed, the themes became more adult, describing pain I couldn't begin to imagine (how clichéd!).

The movie... even from the two minutes of the trailer I saw, looks rather different. Clare looks less accepting of Henry's 'condition' and it looks very lovey-dovey but at the same time 'how can you do this to me?' and like the whole film is going to be very packed full of emotion. I'm hoping that it will be very different to the book. Why? I hate it when books are kind of the same but not the same enough. It is better when they are so different that you can view them as completely different works with a crazily similar story line.
