This half of the book focuses more on the good parts of Clare and Henry being together and more of where Henry goes when he travels. Henry mostly travels to the past so compared to the movie the book is almost backwards. Also things from the past are revealed that are not revealed in the movie. Also there are different reactions to dramatic events in the book where the movie played them out to fullest.
After being together while Clare is older it was only destined for them to get married. In the movie Henry almost misses his wedding for he unwillingly starts to time travel after the wedding while on their honey moon Henry starts time traveling again. The book has Henry their the whole time. The book does not really stress Henry's time traveling, only what it does to everyone emotionally. This is why it was surprising that Clare was not angry about finding out about Henry's vasectomy. She just comely said, "No. I can't do this anymore either. I give up" (Niffenegger 372). In the movie this scene was way more dramatic.
In the book things that have already happened and have been told will be told again. Also things from Clare's past that were hinted at in the movie are explained in the book. Clare also seems less stressed out and more happy. The drama of having a child is not gone as thoroughly explained like in the movie. This happy couple stays in love no matter the problem and knows that they will be always in a way be connected even after Henry's death. This is because in a way its like he never died because a time traveling Henry from the past always come for his Clare. The book goes into more detail on how this effects Clare where the movie does not. In the end the book can be considered better than the movie for it holds more information and sides to the story.
