Past and Present

1.12 - 11/22/63

This is about a man who goes back in time to save JFK from assassination, but it is really about life and love. It is about the simple decisions we make each day and how there is always another choice. So what happens if one of those choices changes?

Isn't this what we think about every day?  What if I had done that?  What if I had gone there?  Why do we smile as we walk by some people and yet blindly walk by others? Why is it always the good old days and the grass is greener?  We always want to know, but do we really.

I liked this book a lot; I loved seeing our narrator teach, I loved seeing people be kind to one another,  I loved the dancing. It isn't a perfect book, but it is what a perfect book should be: an escape, a character study, and a lesson that stays with you and makes you think about it in relation to your own life.  Don't read it to learn about Kennedy because you won't, read it to remember that you have an effect on people and should go out of your way to do that right.
