November 2011
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.
