SPOILER ALERT



I thought it was a cop out to have a time change cause such disruptions to lead to massive earthquakes and other events that distort what the timeline would have been like with a two term JFK. I guess I would have liked King to explore that a bit more (he does talk about the civil legislation may never have happened with a powerless Johnson as VP).


It was also mostly an SF story. A pretty good time travel yarn. A sweet ending (he is getting better at that in his old age).

In retrospect I still think I enjoyed Doctor Sleep - it also is a less cruel Stephen King, but the primary protagonist did need more work. I would probably elect to reread The Shining ten years from now over Doctor Sleep though.
