I never thought I’d say this about a Stephen King novel — but this may be one of my favorite books ever! It was nonstop, edge of your seat reading. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. 

This is NOT a horror or thriller. It’s truly historical fiction meets science fiction.

This book is about a man who travels back in time to stop the Kennedy Assassination, but

The world is hideous and ravaged by nuclear war.

It thrills, it chills, and it made time travel exciting and terrifying at the same time. I loved it.
