Al went through the rabbit hole over and over for years and discovered that no matter how long you stay, when you go back through the portal, only two minutes have elapsed since you left. My love for it is an exception rather than a rule - you see, I am not usually a fan of the Grandfather paradox. I've been putting this book off for the last few years; partly because it's an 800+ page giant, and partly because I studied the hell out of Kennedy and 1950s/60s America back in high school.

Kennedy provided a golden opportunity to every disgruntled crazy out there by deciding to ride in an open car through the hostile city of Dallas, Texas. Again, this may have also been just something I was feeling, because I was very impatient and really wanting to know how this book would end. Maybe writing this review will give me a sense of release, or perhaps I'll gear up the old audible and dive in for a reread. I thought I’d hang out by the grassy knoll, take a few pictures of the fence during the shooting and hopefully put this conspiracy bullshit to bed once and for all. I held my breath in anticipation of certain things Jake had to do, and then some twist would come out of left field, and I would continue reading in awe.As he proved with The Cuban Missile Crisis, he was a man that understood the bluff without committing the hardware. We wanted to be absolutely sure he was acting alone, but then Al got really sick and knew he wouldn’t be able to stop Oswald. The cigarette smoke is another of this kind of example: our hero comments that smoke and smokers are everywhere, but then just seems able to ignore it. Which means that a person who simply kept Oswald from being present on the parade route that day (by any means necessary, gory ones included--slit the guy's arm open with a knife, for example) would save both Kennedy's life and Oswald's. Authors of the King knows so well to touch your feelings with his memorable characters and their heart wrenching stories!

Johnson and the author of books about several presidents, and used some of her ideas of worst-case political scenarios that might occur in the absence of Kennedy's assassination. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. He is rarely poetic or descriptive in ways that give any deeper meaning or even paint a vivid picture.She had married a man named Trevor Anderson, with whom she has five children, eleven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. In fact, the JFK stuff doesn't really kick in until the last 35% of the book, but please don't take that as a criticism. Reading a King novel is often like sitting on a park bench with an old-timer, listening as he spins his tales and spreads his gossip, and 11. If you are wanting to try a Stephen King book, but don't know if you will like all the horror, read this!
