He comments that they're expected to wear girdles sometimes, but he compares that to guys having to wear condoms and says that guys have it worse.

Still, you’re talking about saving a guy who is going to have a huge impact on history with no idea of how it will play out. Oh – anyway, you came from the very near future and you decided the most important thing to do was to stop me writing one particular review on Goodreads of one dubious Stephen King novel?But after the realization that he didn´t just change his writing style and its focus, but also the way he deals with topics, digging deeper was necessary. How drunk and marihuana high was he when he wrote everything between his first works and the end of his junkie career? I loved how Oswald was described as not a villain or a nutcase but a flawed broken little man who stumbled into the middle of events that changed history.

You’ve spent years of your life doing this even though there’s clearly some very wonky elements to the resetting of the past when you go through and time itself seems to be working against you? There were also several sighs of relief and a couple of cute moments involving Jake's romance that just made me say "aww". King introduces us to a man named Jake who insists that he is not emotionless despite the fact that he doesn't cry often. Since the part where he tries to stop Kennedy's assassination doesn't happen until about 750 pages into the book, King compensates by having other characters behave in very violent ways. When Jake finishes his work in Derry, he moves ultimately to the small town of Jodie, Texas where he becomes a part of the community and falls in love with one of his colleagues, the new school librarian, Sadie Dunhill.

But even there King manages to include some unexpected beauty - just remember Richie and Bevvy dancing.

I'm often not a fan of time travel fiction reading ---but Stephen King improves this type of storytelling by adding themes, choices, and consequences in his story.When I heard the concept of this book, I worried that King was succumbing to a bad case of baby boomer JFKitis, and the early parts of the book seem to have confirmed this. There's a killing of a family by sledgehammer-wielding maniac described in detail multiple times in the first 300 pages.
