Hop in your time machine for a ride back to 1958, and don't forget to buckle up. The minute you open this book, you're thrown into a fantastic adventure through time.
It was very interesting to me, being born in the 80's, to imagine the settings that this story takes place in. A lot of things have changed in the last 54 years and it's nice to have everything described in such vivid detail.
We follow Jake Epping through the rabbit hole into 1958, and Stephen King kindly includes us as a passenger for the trip. You can nearly taste the handmade root beer floats that are available for a dime in 1958 Lisbon Falls.
What started as a 'simple' trip through time, quickly tangles into an exciting classic that will keep readers happy for a very long time. Through trial and error, love and hate, Jakes journey proves to be anything but simple. Many of the historical facts in the book are completely accurate; however there are some instances where King fabricated some of the past. I'll let you find them for yourself.
The book has a wonderful flow to it. It's hard to just sit down and read it for just a few minutes. Each page draws you in deeper and deeper, and before you know it you have followed Lee Harvey Oswald and kept tabs on him for much of the night.
At about 850 pages, this book is definitely worthy of losing a few hours of sleep over.
In closing, I think this book is worth 10/10 review.
