5.0

Gripping, heart-wrenching, grim - an emotional rollercoaster. Despite long stretches of describing Cold War-era surveillance that aren't the most interesting episodes in the book, Stephen King constructs a masterful framework for imagining *clearly* what a long-term jaunt to the past would be like. It's really exciting.
