The Time Traveler's Wife (yet again)

I didn't notice any jarring pacing when I was reading it. I feel like
when you read it visually you can skip over those parts as quickly as
you like instead of being forced to listen to some narrator invest too
much emphasis into every word. Give the dead tree version a try, I bet
you like it.
