It is actually hard for me to express how much I loved this book, and how much heartache I experienced at the end. 
 King writes so incredibly prolifically that he misses a lot. Truth be told, I love his misses as well as his home runs, but this book is a true gem. I love the historical research, I love the obsession, but most of all the love story underscores everything. 
 I couldn't look away. (view spoiler)[I reread her death over and over. And it really wasn't easier for me. When he danced with her again, I felt the hit in my gut. (hide spoiler)] 
 Stephen King has told us for decades that there is always a price to pay, and that sometimes fixing things makes the price much larger and much more painful. I don't remember him ever convincing me before how much the pain could be worth it.
