The Time Traveler's Wife

I really liked how the author used metaphor of time travelling to emphasize emotional absence and irresponsibility. I'm not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but if you ever met people who have hard time keeping any of their promissis, and them backing out last minute, and somehow always having very "good" excuses - the main character is just like that. The book is well-written, but perhaps some chapters are way too stretched out. I found the main character VERY annoying, but it's great that the author was able to evoke those emotions in readers.
