Before reading: Eeeek, I'm so excited. This is one of the big guns that I've been wanting to read for a long time. There are supposedly some Dark Tower  ties and this is also supposed to be King's greatest romance novel. I watched a few episodes of the show but other than that, I'm going in fairly blind. Let's gooooo! After reading: Wow wow wow. While this wasn't my favorite book from King, I can easily admit that it is truly one of his best. It is beautifully written, action-packed, sci-fi, romantic, scary, funny...it is literally all the things. I don't know how he did it but he did.  I've said this before and I'm sure I'll say this a million more times...but King's books are all about the characters. Yes, the overall plot of this book is going back in time to stop the Kennedy assassination...but is it really? Jake is the real story here and oftentimes, the plot isn't even on his mind. In my opinion the book was a little long and there ...
