Makes you wonder if this world is so crappy because someone went and changed something in our world. lol

It certainly does get the brain thinking!  I've always loved the idea of time travel and often wonder what the world would be like if certain things in history hadn't occurred.

[mare]

Me too!

[Purpura Lipstick]

Me three! 

I do like how he explained the change didn't happen, or why it was changed back.  I was wondering how it was going to work since we obviously live in a world that JFK died in.

Yeah, I'm glad it reset! Part of me was thinking when he tried to go through the last time that it would be too late and not reset.

[Carter-Orange]

Yeah, I wondered if it would reset after such a major change in history, because Al hadn't really changed anything had he?  Just bought meat and then watched Lee until he became too ill to carry on.

Part of me thought that too because of the original yellow card man dying.  I'm interested to learn about THEM.  where/what time do they come from?  How did they create these time holes? what happened to create them?  I want to know about them.

Al did change something.  He kept that girl from being a wheelchair.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that!

I wanted to know more about them too, would be an interesting story.

Know SK I wouldn't count out a short story dealing with the yellow card man or them showing up in another novel at some point.

well this is only the second SK book I've ever read and the first one was an "accident".  I found a book that didn't have an author, I was interested, read a bit and was hooked.  It was a historical fiction journal about a woman who marries some man and moves into a house.... how was I to know it it was the companion story to Rose Red by him.  I didn't realize it until I caught part of the mini series on TV and thought, 'hey that sounds like the book I read' and so I looked into it more.  Man I felt dumb. 

anyway to the point of the post, I hope he writes a companion with the yellow card men or something else with them in it.  I'd probably read that one just to find out, unless it's horror. I'd be sad if it was horror.

we should have warned people... spoilers abound for 11/22/63 in this thread ... heh

[mare]

You would think people would kind of figure it out since this thread is to discuss the book lol

Rose Red was a crazy book! lol

I think if you decide to read anything else by him, you should go for the Dark Tower Series or Eyes of the Dragon.

[Carter-Orange]

I'm going to read the Dark Tower books once I've got through the couple of books I've got.

I am going to *cringe* finish Twilight then I have a couple on my Kindle and some books my husband liked that we own that I'm going to give a shot before I go on the hunt for more books.   I have put them on my list though, at least to try.
