I’d be 22 years old, almost finished with college and already I’m starting to think about things I would do different. If this phenomenon happened to me today I would be waking up in 1989 I can only imagine the discombobulated state of anyone waking up 25 years in the past. Ken Grimwood takes this a step further as Winston finds himself waking up in 1963 about to replay his life. When people have near death experiences they typically talk about their lives flashing before their eyes. It is a pain like he has never felt before as nerve signals are scrambling and the most critical muscle in his body stops working. He is on the phone with his soon to be ex-wife Linda when something punches him in the chest. October 18th, 1988 is an insignificant date, but for Jeff Winston it is a day that will live in infamy. All poetic excerpts in this review are from Auguries of Innocence by William Blake
