I've always liked the sort of pacing that sucks you in.

Have you read Ken Grimwood's novel 'Replay'? I think you'd enjoy it. The basic premise is this: a man in his mid forties dies of a heart attack and finds himself transported back in time to his college days but his knowledge of the future is intact. Knowing what he knows, he makes different choices and his life turns out differently, but he dies again in his mid forties of that heart attack anyway. The cycle keeps repeating.

Fascinating stuff to read if you're middle -aged and you wonder how you might have done things differently.

On edit: I forgot to mention that one of the storylines is trying to prevent the JFK assassination. That's what reminded me of the book.
