We'd both tend to agree with your review. She gave up (though she says she does want to finish it just to say she has) because it just went on so long about his job, his love life and every little thing that happened in five years. <br />I finished it as I wanted to see how he was going to explain time travel working. He did and it worked (mostly) for me. Like you, I was interested in the personal question, though I felt he just gave up on things as well as decided that they were for the best. <br />I'm interested to read Under The Dome now to see how much better it is than this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252633618516984383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-120758172147945972012-06-21T13:04:25.251-05:002012-06-21T13:04:25.251-05:00I'm unsure about this one.

It referenced a musician that kicked his drug habit, but his music quickly went down hill: "No junk, no soul."<br /><br />I haven't read any Stephen King since Gerald's Game, but I do enjoy me some time travel. I'll give this one a few chapters next time I'm at the bookstore.Sevan Parishttp://www.sevanparis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-14033129030304893792012-04-01T23:34:48.704-05:002012-04-01T23:34:48.704-05:00I wanted to thank you for this very well written r...I wanted to thank you for this very well written review. I have been on the fence about this one, because I have been an avid Stephen King fan since I was a child, when my mother handed me The Eyes of the Dragon after I had complained incessantly that I had nothing to read, but then I have heard so many things about the quality of his writing changing in recent years with his last several novels since he found sobriety. I wonder if maybe the alcohol helped along the insanity that fueled his creativity. I think, after reading your review, I may read it just to see if I feel the same way.Lisahttp://justanotherrabidreader.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-63529782046846450002012-03-14T09:49:41.557-05:002012-03-14T09:49:41.557-05:00This is a really great review, Becky (thanks for l...This is a really great review, Becky (thanks for linking to it over on the Chunkster blog).

I did see a documentary once where they tried to analyze what would have happened if JFK wasn't murdered.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ManOfLaBook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ManOfLaBook.com</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
