Review of '11/22/63' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This was very well written, with a delightfully mournful tone to it throughout and a resonance of an era long gone. I can't quite give it top billing, for although several friends raved about this title to me copiously and not without merit they are not time travel aficionados and perhaps because it's a genre at which I regularly work I found this merely very good rather than amazing.
