I've not seen many films lately, all thanks to one man - Stephen King. I'm something of a lapsed fan having given up around the time of Desperation, which I absolutely hated. However I've just read Under the Dome and 11/22/63 back to back and all I can say is the man is back in a big way - these are fantastic reads. The JFK time travel novel is, for me, the better of the 2 as it achieves real poignancy as well as tension, historical insight and mind bending concepts, but both are well worth the effort. Really great to have him back, I'm even looking forward to the (previously dreaded) Shining sequel, Dr Sleep, now.
