Stephen King's 11/22/63

[Ron Obvious]

1. I enjoyed it too

But like many King books, it has a flabby middle and his endings rarely live up to the premise. I'm a sucker for a time travel story in any case and I do have some interest in the JFK assassination, but I could have done without all the high school stuff in Texas and would have preferred more investigative meat instead. King has a thing for folksy talk that can get annoying after a while, also.

And really, if you travelled back to a time just before your birth (I think.. I read it right after it came out), and you have a year or more to kill anyway... Wouldn't you look up the people who were to become your parents and your family? Why spend all that time in a high school in Texas?

All in all, a decent pageturner, like most King novels. I've read about 5 or 6 of them and IT is my favourite.
