This is a really gripping book; I only read at night, and found myself still reading at 2am sometimes! Stephen King is such a great author, and I think this is one of his best books. Easy to read, fantastic storyline. If you're toying over whether to buy this one, hesitate no further - go ahead, you won't regret it!
I'm not usually a Stephen King man.In fact I've only read one or two of his books in the last 20 years or so.
This book however, knocked me flat. Well written with strong characters and a plot which drags you in and doesn't let go. The film that is being made of this book couldn't possibly live up to expectations,it's just got so much to it.
I've been looking forward to this book for a long time, and it didn't disappoint me. The content is original, cleverly put together and weirdly believeable. I read a lot of Stephen King, and find that sometimes he goes off on a bit of a ramble bu it didn't hppen with this novel. It kept me interested right up until the end, and I highly recommend it.

I loved the idea of this,even though politics really isn't my thing. It works fine and makes several very good points about time travel and the rights and wrongs of if you could.
The story in basic form is about a man who is given the opportunity to stop JFK being shot and therefor change the world as we know it.
Naturally,as he is single and no kids,he has no reason to turn down such an offer.
After a few tests via some steps that lead down and into 1958,he realizes how changing small details can change even bigger things elsewhere,butterflies and hurricanes as they say. So off he goes on the real mission,save JFK,but life isn't that simple.
It's a brilliant idea,with other smaller stories thrown in to make it more interesting.
The one major flaw i found in this,is King waffles on a bit,as he tends to do sometimes,so that stops me giving it five stars,for me it simply isn't one the best King books i've read,though it is very good and i can see why so many love it. This is proof King still has plenty to offer and it makes a change to the usual horror that i read by King.
I would say it is well worth buying,but if you hate it when King waffles on,be prepared,it's worth sticking with though.
