I really like the movement in time! For me, it's part of what makes the books so interesting (from a literary point of view) and unusual.
I don't mind the slang, either - I simply read it as AF's idiolect. Perhaps not having been around in any of the periods she writes about makes that easier, since I'm likely to be less acutely aware of "trendy" words v. "Marlow" words.
