I read this book several years ago and still find myself thinking about it - Now that is the sign of a really good book! The Kennedy assassination was a watershed moment in my life. I had just seen President Kennedy when he came to our small Southern town to dedicate our new dam. My Dad was running for mayor at that point so we had excellent and got to shake the President's hand. The characters are very interesting in the storyline that circles around the assassination. Excellent! ...more

Once again, King hits it outta the park with this entry in historical/time-travel/romance. Sounds like an odd combination, I know, but, it's Stephen King, and it works. I could write a book report here, but I prefer not to as there seem to be plenty of those splattered around; I will, instead, just write a few comments.

I loved that ...more

Awesome! Loved it. Damn you, Stephen King, for being such a wonderful writer and storyteller that I have been desperate to avoid all activities in my life for the past five days to devour you time-traveling love story. And for being too wonderful to skim. And for having your heart and politics dead on correct! Read this people!
