Awesome right out of the gate and then lulled a bit in the middle. I liked the pace of the ending and the speculation that came from the events of the past. A good book all the way around.

Don't be scared of the length of the book, this story really keeps you going. The national geographic channel just made a movie called Killing Kennedy, and it was all stuff I was reading about in this novel...it's more historical fiction than it is sci/fi. I like the idea of time travel and how much of an impact each and every one of us has on the world.
