Wow! It has been awhile since I updated the blog....but this was a really loooooooong book. This the the September book for book club. Happily I have finished it with a little time left to get on some more of the books on my list.
Anyway, this is about a man who can time travel back to 1958. He goes back to try to save JFK from being assassinated. I thought that maybe this was going to be hokey because I am not really into stuff like time travel and honestly not really into the whole JFK thing. But y'all this was a good one. I was telling my husband it must be really good because usually a book that is 850 pages I give up about 400-600 pages in and just skim the rest. This one kept me going for weeks and weeks. (Unfortunately I just don't get lots of time to read...)
The ending is really good and makes you think about life and the butterfly effect that our actions have. If I liked horror, I think that I would really like Stephen King. I liked his style of writing.
Another fun tidbit there was a nonchalant mention of The Reliable Wife. Love it!
