It wavers between being hard to put down and hard to keep reading often enough to feel like I'm getting whiplash, and the time traveling aspect could have been fleshed out a LOT more. Not his best but not his worst.

Though this book has a healthy dose of “things were better back in my day,” King kept me engaged from page 1. This book flies by. Fun read.

What a unique read. This is my first Stephen King, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my time with it. It's long and a commitment, but I was interested throughout it all. King is a masterful writer with all the details and how this ultimately connected. Loved this exploration of time travel and the butterfly effect. I can't say that I'll eagerly pick up more Stephen King as I'm still a wimp and don't want to read the scary stuff, but this was a fun one!
