At this point I feel like I've only read works that are not typical Steven King, but this joins them as a fun, engaging read. I love a good time travel novel and I appreciate that King uses it to indulge that classic time travel fantasy: "What if I could change the past to save the future?" He uses the length to steep his story in the past, giving it shades of historical fiction that are also delightful. Definitely recommend; the pages will fly.
