A thoroughly enjoyable read. However I do feel that, as a Brit, my lack of American history did hinder my enjoyment of the story a little as it was hard to keep up with the names and places of the real events aspect. 
A very interesting concept of time travel and very well constructed. As usual Stephen King is a stellar story teller, even though I enjoyed this one slightly less, it was still a story I was unable to put down.
