2012: Book #4
January 29, 2012I read Stephen King as a teenager. I was into horror movies (it’s the age) and his books were certainly terrifying. Then I grew up a little, and his stuff no longer appealed. A few years passed, and I read a couple of his books (Bag of Bones, Dreamcatcher) and realized he’s still got it. His talent for story telling has not changed.
This book did NOT disappoint. The main character, Jake, is convinced by his dying friend to use a “worm hole” that deposits you in June 1958. The point of this is for Jake to stay in the past and save JFK from assassination. As with most King novels, nothing is as straightforward as it seems, and Jake’s interference with the past has some scary consequences.
Read it.
