by Stephen King
Another time travel story. In this case, a man uses a portal into the past to go back in time and attempt to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I didn't like so much how the story ended up, but I did enjoy how the story had a mystical/spiritual dimension to it that you don't often see in time travel tales. Another nice touch was that the traveller didn't have control of the time portal and actually had to kill time in 1960s America waiting for the fateful moment to arrive. All in all, the book was a joy to read. (But at 849 pages, a literal pain to hold at the bus stop.)
But don't let that stop you from checking it out.
