the only hope for this is just if the adaptation gets better, because otherwise this is book is really doomed the introduction saves it, ther2,5 stars

I think this ended up being a whole draft to Stephen’s career in matters of telling short stories, not his best, and not his worst either. Which is ceI think this ended up being a whole draft to Stephen’s career in matters of telling short stories, not his best, and not his worst either. Which is certainly something to be qualified as weak and slightly average. I really love Stephen King, he’s my favorite author, I’ve read plenty of his books, but this isn’t as promising as you think it is, trust me. ...more

this is the type of book that made me read just because of the vibes and the cover, which is such a big mistake the entire book is poorly developed andthis is the type of book that made me read just because of the vibes and the cover, which is such a big mistake the entire book is poorly developed and with slow writing, feels like you’re reading 800 pages, but no. it’s just too slow with no hint of development or construction there’s absolutely no way you can feel attached with the story or characters, the development and construction was too poorly done to allow that ability to happen. and i must warn this may be the book that will give you a reading slump. because i know i felt that getting near to me, with another reading slump, but i managed to not let that happen. the whole pacing is so slow that the mystery felt non existent, that’s how badly it was....more
this was beyond greatness and perfection. i was deeply hooked, incredibly invested with the plot, the mystery and the characters. i couldn’t guess thethis was beyond greatness and perfection. i was deeply hooked, incredibly invested with the plot, the mystery and the characters. i couldn’t guess the actual murderer, and that was for the best, it was something to blow your mind off, unexpected and very well constructed. it was very intriguing to see how they turned to be the main suspects just because they were part of the minority, it was painful and unfair, but sadly some of the justice judge first with the racist assumptions. i was so engaged with the plot, the last 120 pages were insane, and i was so anxious due so much excitement just to find out the real truth, and that conclusion was so incredible, very well written, full of details... i was fascinated. it’s definitely worth of reading, and what are you doing if you haven’t started reading this perfect mystery having dark academia? GO READ NOW!! just trust me, you’ll love as much as i did....more

INCREDIBLE A**spoiler alert** i’m unbelievably shocked with how this trilogy has ended, finally quality!! the previous books were terrible, but this? INCREDIBLE AND MIND BLOWING. some miracles happened huh? well, i must say that i’ve read 72% of it in less than one hour, i was addicted, i just couldn’t stop reading, it was too good, extremely addictive, very intriguing as well. i gotta say i only missed addy, she was the only character i cared about. but the ending?? HOLY SHIT!! what do you mean jake died? I DON’T FEEL SORRY BUT IM VERY SHOCKED. whoaaa...more
i had low expectations for this book, and it’s not that bad, it’s actually very interesting but slightly addicting the plot doesn’t get dragged, it’s i had low expectations for this book, and it’s not that bad, it’s actually very interesting but slightly addicting the plot doesn’t get dragged, it’s short because there’s no need extend that plot, and that’s why it was more easily developed the only problem is how the smut scenes were written, because it was very cringe to read that. i honestly despise memory loss trope, but not this one. you can see it was required, it had to exist....more

i don’t even know why i decided to read another lucy’s book, this is awful! i couldn’t connect with characters at all, i just didn’t cared who would bi don’t even know why i decided to read another lucy’s book, this is awful! i couldn’t connect with characters at all, i just didn’t cared who would be the victim and the killer and the ending was so off, so weird and not conclusive at all, that i only noticed it was the end because the next page was followed by the dedications. i feel like lucy doesn’t know how to write good characters, interesting ones, there’s not even capacity written on them, that i don’t even hate or love any of them, they’re just not important at all....more
**spoiler alert** i’m impressed i managed to read this book so fast, almost 900 pages in 3 days!! holy shit! i’m speechless. do you know that feeling **spoiler alert** i’m impressed i managed to read this book so fast, almost 900 pages in 3 days!! holy shit! i’m speechless. do you know that feeling when a book you expected to be just great, is actually more than perfect? this is exactly what i’m feeling now. sorry if it bleeds, you are no longer my ultimate favorite king book. you have the second place now. this book is living in my head rent free. had everything i like, politics, science fiction, romance, crime and obviously... history. stephen king wrote this book knowing i would love it so much. (i want to believe that) jake the man that you are... WHAT A MAN!!! oh my god i want him!!! now i need to watch the miniseries and freak out with my fresh emotions, i’ll probably watch tomorrow. stephen king, you did it again. THE GENIUS MANAGED TO HIT PERFECTION, ONCE AGAIN. sadie & jake are my new passion, i’m deeply in love with them, and i mean that by the same amount jake is deeply in love with her. they went through so much in almost 500 pages, oh my god!! i suffered with them, and them i was obsessing over them because the really stole my heart. like... he went to the past to make jfk survive, and then he met the love of his life, but it happens that either she dies by helping him on his mission, or she can survive by being single for decades!! and then he started being away from her, with sadie not knowing his existence, because he saved her because he changed the past for her; to live again and be free. those type of love that the man has to let go of his soulmate to let her be happy, but without him, and he does that because his love is so endlessly that he would rather her happiness costing his unhappiness and heartbreak... that type of love always get me. changing the past, which automatically changes the whole future, is extremely risky. but jake does that, not because he doesn’t care, but because he has the chance of avoiding jfk assassination, but despite being tragic, it’s a major event, that changed history, even the tiniest irrelevant moments, if changed they automatically change the whole future. but he saved jfk and made the world a mess!! the world needs the balance, there will always be good and bad things happening, unfortunately those things can’t be changed, but we have to make sure isn’t repeated, and we evolve. history is created, with the information, mistakes can be prevented, and without even noticing, you’re already building your future.
