To be fair, I mostly only love his short stories and Running With Scissors, where he's not taking himself so seriously in his writing. When I read his super srs memoir about his father, I couldn't finish it. XD

I like TTW when she's doing descriptions. She definitely does the time traveling exceptionally well, I'd have a hard time making it fit cohesively. The way she frames out the events is done well. I think it's just the dialogue - it's honestly that bad to me that it makes everything else shrink away.
