I had a lot of trouble with this book. I took a great dislike to the protagonist halfway through the book. I really felt that he was, in some ways, stupid or thoughtless in the way he gave up his old life, and also in some of his actions as he relived his new changed life. It was hard to be on his side.
I can definitely relate to wishing I had done some things differently - but I would never go back to before I had my children, for this very reason - you would never get the same children again. However, having done so - he really needed to mourn and move on. They weren't suffering, they weren't hurting, and he had been given what he wanted. The fact that he threw away so much, even the second time around, was incomprehensible to me.
The other thing that made me a little crazy is that, instead of reading the book that he found, he decoded a location from a very small part of the text and then apparently never read the rest of it. He agreed to jump through a time window without learning enough about it.
Personally, I think he should have thrown the book away, gotten a divorce, and taken some life enrichment courses....
