This was a reread for me. I first read the book when it came out and I absolutely loved it. I was hooked from page one and cried at the end. I even thought that this was Stephen King's best novel. Now, I have a new perspective of the book. I am not sure if it's because I have mentally grown or because this was an audio "re-read," but I was not as blown away as I was before.
We had Jake who went to the past to change the outcome of JFK. While being in the past, he fell in love. **slight spoilers** Of course things did not turn out the way he was hoping for due to the Butterfly Effect so he had no choice but to set things right. He spent five years in the past, which in the present meant only 2 minutes had passed. Having to reset things meant those five years were nothing more than a memory for only Jake to cherish. This told me that we really need to appreciate the time we have and spend it with the people we love because you don't know if you'll ever get that time back.
As I mentioned before, I was not as blown away with this second read. Maybe because I knew what was going to happen? Maybe because it was in audio? The book felt too long for me. Too much happened that I found myself losing interest a few times and had me wondering when we were going to focus on the Kennedy assassination.
