" What a great story this was! I love stories about time travel and "what might have been" and his doesn't disappoint! "

" I've been a Stephen King fan all my life. Since the age of 12, I have been addicted to almost everything he writes...This book is now part of that, not his typical type of story, but so well written and researched, it blew my mind. Again, he grabs you with the story and doesn't let go. Go Stephen! "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. I have a 40 minute commute to work each day and this book made the time fly. I would recommend this to anyone who has long drives to and from work. "

" I have the hardcover of this book at home, but knew I would never have the time to read it. The audiobook seemed the perfect alternative. I’m generally not a sci-fi, time-travel reader, but it was by Stephen King so I went for it. For a couple of weeks, my commute was dominated by this engaging and intricate story. In typical King fashion, the images he created with words were easy to “see.” I loved the book and thought “someone should make a movie of this, but it would have to be very long.” The Hulu series brought my mental images to life, but the book helped me understand the story.

" I grabbed this book on a trip home from NYC after my sister said she was reading for a book club. She said the guy that chose it for the club had already read it and thought it would be great for discussion. Did you know that people in the Northeast believe they're inherently smarter than those on the West Coast? And not just the Ivy League pricks. The theory I constantly hear out of NYC is they do so much more reading due to the subway. That makes me laugh. Anyway, i usually either try to read classic literature that warrants inclusion in a book club (as some of it's over my head) or historical non-fiction that focuses on a person or time period. i thought this book might provide some deeper perspective or insight on JFK/Oswald. I learned a bit about Oswald, but turns out he wasn't very interesting. King still tells a page-turning, slightly warped story, and it's a fun time piece on the early 60s. I enjoyed the read, just wasn't as deep, opinionated, or controversial as I was expecting. "

" Great book! It kept my interest the entire time and up until the end I didn't know how it was going to end. I would recommend it to anyone. "

" May not be a definite must read for everyone. But it was an excellent book for me. Enjoyed how the plot played out. Really enjoyed it! One of King's best novels in my opinion "

" I thought the book really interesting and mostly enjoyed it, but I did think it could be a little shorter. "

" Really good beginning by this great story teller but the book was too long, sagged in the middle, and became repetitive after the halfway point. Also, the contrived love story got annoying. There is some wonderful writing but there are also some cheap, gimmicky passages and language that deter from the story's flow. "

" Mijn eerste King is meteen een voltreffer. Wat een prachtig (liefdes)verhaal... "

" My first Stephen King book. Don't like his sci-fi genre. This book about the Kennedy assassination - or more specifically - about a time traveler who tries to stop the Kennedy assassination - is gripping. Great character development. "

" Loved the read... until the ending. It ruined the book for me. I was hoping for something like The Green Mile, but this book crashes at the end, IMHO. "

" I love this book! Definitely in my top 10 all time favs "

" Can you believe I liked the Ending...of a Stephen King book!? Well the afterward attributes it to Joe Hill. So way to go father and son team! "

" I loved this book. So interesting to go back to the late 50's/early 60's with a modern sensibility. "

" This is a great book -- not really scary, but a fascinating look at the ideas of tampering with the events of time. "

" Listened to the audio book obsessively all week at work and on the daily commute. Loved it and saddened for it to be over. Very suspenseful with a nice, tender love story wrapped up in it. I was so worried about what would happen to the main characters because the past is so damn obdurate. "

" Very enjoyable historic fiction wrapped in the creepiness of Stephen King, the philosophical theories of changing history, along with a love story and great locations. "

" disappointing ending in my opinion "

" Great book. Long...but great. Lots of detail and makes you think. "
- Alison, 9/7/2012

" The book is too long for the wrong reasons. I am happy to read big books. But you could easily cut 200 pages from this and loose none of the story. Don't get me wrong this is a good story and I did enjoy it. But it just should have been shorter. Anyone else agree ? "

" Quite a nail-biter! Have a hankie handy; no shortage of weep-inducing drama! VERY cleverly done! "

" A riveting historical fiction novel is the last thing I expected from this author I have to say that he did a pretty good job with it. Other than a few sections that were a bit slow I really enjoyed it a lot. "

" I used to read Stephen King books quite frequently, but at some point a while back I stopped. No particular reason, just got too busy I suppose. However, the premise of this story just sounded so interesting to me that I had to check it out. It's a time travel story so the sci-fi lovers will love it but I think it also appeals to history buffs. It's very well-written and Stephen is truly art the top of his game here. "

" A bit slow in the middle but first rate overall. "
- Erik, 4/7/2012

" The story line was creative and compelling, but there were too many tangents that make the book longer than it needed to be. Well researched and nicely put together--but less would have been more to keep things interesting. "

" I liked this book ok but would have enjoyed it a lot better if it had been shorter. It simply dragged in too many areas and suffered from an overload of useless details. The overall premise was intriguing but these flaws really dragged it down for me. "

" This book was a real change of pace from King's usual work. It had nothing to do with the horror genre whatsoever. It's really more of mix of the science fiction and action/suspense genres. I enjoyed it quite thoroughly. "
- Steve H., 1/27/2012
-
" This book really surprised me. The story was great and that's to be expected from Stephen but this was such an unexpected surprise from him. It's so different from his usual writing with nary an aspect of the horror genre to be found. Quite a treat! "

" Bof....26 pages sur l'assassinat de JFK sur 936. C'est pas beaucoup je trouve pour un livre avec ce titre... "
