    In King's latest tome, his protagonist travels back in time to thwart Lee Harvey Oswald, thereby preventing not just Kennedy's assassination but also escalation of the Vietnam War and myriad other ills. Jake Epping discovers to his surprise that he doesn't want to return to 2011, in spite of the horrible deeds he's called upon to do in 1958-63. It's a great read - a compelling story, the usual fun King pop culture references, and above all a bittersweet meditation on the nature of love.
