MY MONTHLY RECOMMENDATION (and why)

Update msg 800
30/75

Day 1 DQs: ch1- 3

1) I have only read a few of Stephen King's books. Is this your first book by the author or are you quite familiar with his storytelling?
Hopefully this will be my first book finished by Stephen King lmao. I tried reading It and The Institute but it was just so long that I couldn't finish it but I love the way SK writes.

2) What do you think about the character Jake so far? Would you have gone along with what Al wanted and took the initial step back into the past, or would you have not humoured him and tried to get him help?
I'll probably go out of curiosity. And Al let Jake tried it right away and let him experienced it before explaining everything about it.

3) I am not sure how I would feel if I just stepped back into the past the way Jake and Al have, but I am really curious about how the time travelling works in this story. It seemed that Jake was somewhat calm about it. How do you think you would feel if it was you?
i would definitely be not calm as Jake lmao. Will have a lot of question about it

4) I think it is clear that Jake is going to pick up Al's mission to try and stop the JFK assassination. Would you choose to continue Al's mission? Also how much do you know of the history surrounding this event?
No idea at all. Just what I learned from movies and stuff. Not sure if I'll continue Al's mission but it seems like impossible and dangerous. But its worth a try, right?

New Task:
Character with super powers

I have a couple that would work for this task, but I won't be able to get to them right away if someone else has something faster."

Me. The Gilded Wolves MC can see past by touching object.

Would this fit?
