This book is absolutely fascinating, and yet it's not one I would keep to re-read. It took me almost 2 weeks to get through it because even though I wanted to finish it, it didn't hold my interest strongly enough for me to read it quickly. I love the premise, of a man who time travels w/in his own life and can meet himself and visit his own past and future. I love the concept of a disease called chronological displacement. I love the storyline itself. But somehow I couldn't connect with the main characters, and that kept me from truly enjoying the story. I just felt that they were both way too self-absorbed. Still, a good one-time read, in my opinion.
