For a historical/political/science fiction novel about time travel, I expected to be bored to tears reading this. But I was wrong and had a great time.
Ok I am not going to lie. I definitely skimmed several sections of this book. It could have been shorter. But it is fascinating and there are some really good lessons. The past is obdurate. Good intentions don't prevent chaos. You can't save everyone. Live in the present. I am not a Kennedy buff at all so I bet this would be more meaningful to someone who was more familiar with what actually happened. I was doing some googling at times, but it was so long that I was just getting through it. It was good so I didn't even contemplate DNFing. I also went back and forth between kindle and audio for literally months in between other books. It is a trek but worth it.Also, alternate ending idea: Jake lets the world burn to be with Sadie. 🤷🏻♀️ What can I say? I am a dark romance girl at heart.
I expected more from the book, perhaps because I’m not very familiar with American history. I didn’t find the horror elements I was hoping for; instead, it felt more like a blend of historical fiction and science fiction. Don’t get me wrong—it’s not a bad book, but it’s not particularly good either; it just feels bland. It took me too long to read, and it felt more like a history lesson than an actual time-travel adventure. However, I did enjoy Jake's personality.
Whoa!!! It is honestly difficult to put this novel into a short review. If you like history, if you like time-travel, if you like romance, if you like suspense and mystery...you will love this book! I originally started reading this book for two reasons: 1) it sounded super interesting at the idea of someone getting to change the past and see how it affected the future and 2) I wanted to say that I read a Stephen King novel. Chapter after chapter, I was sucked in more and more, wondering why certain details were important and then shocked when those details were brought back in ways I could have never imagined. There are often books that do so well throughout the story but then end so poorly but this is not the case. I honestly think that the last chapter what the best part. The past truly harmonizes with itself!I highly recommend this book to everyone! It is quite a feat but any Stephen King novel will be. I listened to the audiobook while reading along with the novel and this added so much more character and imagery to the story so I would recommend that readers do the same.Get ready to enter an adventure that will bring every emotion to the surface and will make you feel like you are living the past right along with Mr. George Amberson!
Quite a tome! I had seen the tv series already so I generally knew what to expect. I like time travel stories and this was an interesting story. I really enjoyed the book.
