Fantastic book

Reviewed in Australia on 30 June 2018

A great take on time travel and quite a change for Stephen King. Although I'm giving it 5 stars, there's a couple of elements I had issues with - one was the copious amount of detail about the assassination. Probably Americans will be fine with it as it's part of that country's history but it was a bit heavy for a non-American. Another is the supernatural character - he's just not needed and detracted just a little from a really great book.
But it's still a Stephen King classic and there's no one else that really comes close.

Autoluminescent

Not my favourite King novel

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2021

I’m a long time Stephen King fan, from way back when, but I’ve got a feeling I’m in a minority with this book...
I started off well enough but I’m about 45% through and I honestly couldn’t be bothered if I finished it.
I will finish it, for sure, but it hasn’t excited me at all.
I chose this title as I was treating myself to a full-price King I hadn’t read, and this one seems to be so highly recommended.
Everyone’s different...You might love it!

I really enjoyed this - it kept you hooked until the end ...

I really enjoyed this - it kept you hooked until the end and didn't leave you with any loose ends. Jake/George faces moral dilemmas that you find yourself heavily invested in, and the characters are the kind who stay with you after the book is finished. One of Stephen Kings' most enjoyable!

loved Stephen Kings view on the Kennedy Assassination

Very enjoyable, loved Stephen Kings view on the Kennedy Assassination, you can see that he really studied the subject material. I also like how he delved into Oswalds life, we got to meet the man behind the killer. I also loved his main character Jake/George, he was a very real character, and Sadie too! Stephen King has a knack of dragging you into his book and keeping you addicted until the very last page.

A really good book

Reviewed in Australia on 6 April 2021

I got right into the story, the minute the main character walked into the time rabbit hole and we were transported back in time with him.
I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone.

Well researched plausible scenario (given time travel)

Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2018

This story had me thinking about it during all hours. A well worked out plot and plausible scenario with a twist finale. an unusual take on time travel with some of the rarely thought of consequences. Certainly kept me reading till the end.
