After reading the synopsis of this novel, I decided to try a Stephen King novel for the first time since the 1980’s. He had moved to writing mostly horror stories (or at least that is my recollection now) and his novels were just not what I was looking to read at the time. My attitude regarding this seemed to have lasted for quite a bit longer than anticipated as I have not picked up any of his books since that time until this one. I followed a recommendation on GoodReads regarding this and saw this book was about time travel and JFK which seemed a story that fit right in with my long term interests. I moved this book to the top of my to be read list and picked up a copy as soon as I could.
This book hooked me right away and lead to several late nights of reading enjoyment. Without giving many details of the main plot lines away for those who haven’t read this yet, the story details the journey of Jake Epping who is given the opportunity to time travel back to 1958 with the goal being to stop the assassination of JFK in 1963. The story goes though quite a bit of lead up to this climax and leaves you wanting to read further in the story every time you put it down.
The story does have a few curious inconsistencies (or things that make you go hmmmm) that could have been explained a little further. A time travel method that is not really explained well, a point in the past where the MC remembers all the lines from a song that would not come out until 1969 but does not know the public reaction of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 but these do not really deter from the story at all.
This is a great read that I can recommend to anyone who enjoys King novels or really anyone who just enjoys a good story.
