I find that the best fiction, the stories I love the most, are the kind that stay in my brain and my heart long after I have read them. I might say the best writing of any kind makes me think about life, makes my heart swell, sometimes makes me laugh or cry. And then I carry the story around with me, sometimes for years afterward.

For me, Life After Life, The Time Traveler's Wife, and The Way the Crow Flies are three books that have never left my brain or my heart. All three of these books were ...more

Better known for his horror novels, I never thought I would read a Stephen King novel but then he had fantasy novels which I have tried and enjoyed. This time I got to experience a time travel experience. And I can tell he did quite a bit of research- from the music( he seems to be a big fan of music), to coins of the day. We follow Jake Epping who receives a chance some people only dream could happen. He has been granted access to 1958 through the back of the diner by the owner. But as there ar ...more

I was in 6th grade when JFK was assassinated, so I remember it and how it impacted our world. Th ...more

4.5 Stars!! I loved this way better than The Stand.
Stephen King's storytelling made me forget I was reading an 800+page book. And here's the thing, only a handful authors can convince their publishers to publish an 800+page book, with people's shrinking time and attention span. But leave it to the King and his fantastic storytelling, I finished this book in 4 sittings!! ...more

This was not bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. More like 2.5 stars, not quite a 3. An attempt at time traveling desires to save historical figure, and trouble is inevitable. A bit too long for me, I lost interest about 2/3rds of the way in, but carried on to the end. This might be great fun for the right reader, but I give it a big old m'eh. ...more
