I have read about Half of Kings novels and this one is one of his very best, one of my personal all time favorite books. Glued on every page from the beginning to the end. It offers everything you would want out of a story or a sweeping epic! The mini series was amazing as well all though the few changes I did not care for. You also have to assume going into this that Oswald was the only shooter which most believe is not true and it has even been proven in court but then again, King is the master of fiction!
