This is the story of Jake Epping (aka George Amberson,) who goes back in time with the hopes of saving President John F. Kennedy from being assassinated on 11/22/63. He arrives through a "rabbit-hole" into September of 1958, where he lives and works while investigating Oswald and deciding his next move. He learns that any and all changes in history create the butterfly effect, causing a ripple in history. Is it worth it?

Book grabs you and never lets you go. Time travel, changing history (alternate reality), love story, history lesson-it all works together. Story stayed with me when I had to put book down to do mundane everyday things. Couldn't wait to get back to it.

Not a huge Stephen King fan, actually haven't read any of his stuff since the mid-80s, but what a storyteller! Loved that he didn't shy away from the good or bad of the early 60s instead met them head on. I'd be surprised if a movie wasn't made. ...more

Great story! Enjoyed Stephen King's take on time travel. Enjoyed the twist on the JFK assasination. Once the main character finally got to THE day, I could not put it down. Enjoyed the ending very much. Not the direction I thought it would go but better. Didn't mind Mr. King sharing his political views. Put off though by the 100 page blatant plug for another of his books which I haven't read and now probably never will. On the whole though a great book. ...more

Ok I should have written a review but now having watched the show I realize how even mor awesome the book is... sad on my part but so true. Admittedly I am already a Stephen King fan and for some reason this puts people off reading any of his books..weird??
However for those people you would never know he wrote this book.. but I would.
The relationships are intricate and delicate.
The timeline is fragile
The outcomes are frightening
I loved it
One of the best books I have read more than twice
