Audrey Niffenegger has admitted that she will not watch the big screen adaptation of her novel The Time Traveler's Wife.

She published the book back in 2003, New York Times bestseller list, and it was her debut novel.

But the romance movie has been adapted for the big screen this year with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams taking on the roles of Henry and Clare.

In an interview with the Associated Press she said: "Once I signed away the rights I had just had to let go.

"The advice of everyone who ever had this experience or been near was to just let go. Once you sign on the dotted line, you have no control... I decided it would probably be best if I just did that."

The film follows a Chicago librarian with a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the complications it creates for his marriage.

The movie received mixed reviews upon release and opened third in the U.S. box office, behind District 9 and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
