A time travel story by Stephen King? More likely than you would think.
Firstly, the characters. These characters were super interesting and well written. I really enjoyed all of the inner turmoil that the main character was going through as it felt extremely human. Despite the fact that some of these characters were actual people, I didn't think that it was poorly written. I did also enjoy the personification of time.
The plot was also super interesting, however I thought it was a little long. Obviously Stephen King writes long books but I didn't think that this book needed to be this long. There were a lot of points where the story dragged and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it.
But beside the length I thought that the book really payed off. This is the first Stephen king book that I cried to and it might or might not be the last. If you can stick it out for over 800 pages, definetly give this one a read.
