Absolutely love this one. The ending was bittersweet and satisfying. An intriguing story about stopping the assassination of JFK.

I enjoyed this, as I do all of King's books, but no character stood out as truly special. I liked Sheriff Pangborn and Polly, of course, and Norris Ridgewick, but I wasn't truly invested in them. Still, that didn't spoil the story!
