I’ve never been a real fan to historical fiction, but this is my second favorite book by Stephen King (The Stand being the first). Stephen King does his best to keep it close to the actual timeline of events. His improvisation of times between historical events flows smoothly. It’s not just a story about the JFK assassination but a love story that time can never alter.

A very good read!

I started reading King in the late 80s and have read many of his novels, though not all. For me, this one has been the best one, which is saying a lot. I think I’ve read this one three times. Beautifully written and great telling of a jaw dropper of a story. For me it was less of a horror story and more of one involving supernatural things particularly around time travel. It’s told from the point of view of the narrator — the so-called first-person approach — and that helped reel me in, I think. The Hodges trilogy, for example, is told in the third-person (which I think is right for those stories) but it’s not quite as direct. This is a bit like another king, B.B. King, singing his blues — the story of his life — directly to you.

Watched the Hulu series before reading the book. I love the book more. I enjoyed how Mr. King wrote out how they say things in New England and Texas. A great read!

Watched the mini series. I thought I read the book in hopes it would be more detailed. Loved the book more then the mini series. I recommend reading the book over mini series. Watch mini series anyway. James Franco is very good.

I was grabbed from the beginning. I could not put it down and was sad at the end, not because of the story but because I was finished. I am going to read it again which I never do!

The book was way too long. It would ramble on about this and that and barely staying on course. Terrible read.

Great characters, loved traveling back in time to that era. However, I disagree with the author's viewpoint on Oswald. Opposing viewpoints are what makes the world go 'round 😊 SR

I definitely had my issues with the middle and 3rd half of the book, but overall, it was a great ride. Really loved the ending. Looking forward to the Hulu show.
