Because he writes sci-fi and horror? Because his books are so compelling, entertaining and popular? For me, King does what very few authors manage - he turns fast-paced genre fiction into well-written, thought-provoking literature.
But I find myself once again in that situation where I read a book I always meant to read and mentally kick myself for not giving in sooner. This book is fantastic.
Some of its critics don't like the crossover of many genres, claiming it "wanders from genre to genre". However, I loved how this book was many things.
It's an extremely well-researched piece of historical fiction; it's a fascinating look at time travel science fiction is it possible to change the past?
What is the cost of doing so? King has this strange way of turning the most fantastical plots into stories about people who feel very real. He writes detailed and honest character portraits, so that these characters become so vivid and realistic, likable and flawed, that we so easily believe in everything that happens to them.
If you don't already know, this book is about a man called Jake Epping who - through his friend, Al - discovers a portal that takes him to , where he takes over Al's obsessive mission to prevent the Kennedy assassination.
He establishes a new life in the past, in a world filled with big American cars, rock'n'roll, and shameless racism, sexism and homophobia.
The amount of research King did is evident. He paints an intricate portrait of this time - simultaneously portraying an exciting, dreamy era full of different fashions, music, and the best root beer ever for 10 cents He makes this era seem like a bright, amazing, creepy nightmare.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unlike some of King's other works, the pages didn't feel like too much to me and they just seemed to fly by.

Thank you, Steve. You were wrong all those years ago when you said you weren't very good at writing about love and intimacy. The love story here is full of honesty and tenderness.
When I got to the last couple of pages, I was crying so hard I couldn't read. If you're avoiding it because you think Stephen King only writes horror, please reconsider.
There's no horror here, aside from a couple of mild gross-out Thank you, Steve. There's no horror here, aside from a couple of mild gross-out scenes.
I know my experience would have been cheapened by knowing too much beforehand, so I'm not going to tell you what it's about in the style of a traditional book review.
Be it on someone else's head to spoil your fun. So why should you read it? With poundcake for afters. Because dancing is life. Thanks again, Steve.
There's always room for you on my dance card. Look at the amount of pages in this book. Look at the amount of pages in Under The Dome.
Check the date this book is published. Check the date Under The Dome was published. Utterly compelling. King outlines a clear end goal, and the novel benefits enormously as the journey to that destination unfolds.

Part drama, part historical-fiction, part romance. King has stated the book's idea came to him in , yet at the time didn't have enough confidence in his skill or ability to properly pull something like this off.
Well, the wait was worth it. Truly masterful. View all 47 comments. Mar 01, Jeffrey Keeten rated it it was amazing Shelves: horror , alternative-history.
You may ask yourself how in the world did a wife beating, mental degenerate, and multiple country defecting USA, RUSSIA and an attempt at Cuba little shit like this kill the charismatic, handsome war hero, and most powerful man in the world.
It doesn't make any sense. It never has made any sense. Oswald just does not fit the profile for a guy that could pull off an assassination of this magnitude.
He's a semi-educated hillbilly, but he's surprisingly crafty. His swoon-inspiring smile, his wavy hair, and his beautiful wife would not win him votes hidden behind bullet proof glass.
The parade route was even published in the paper. When Lee Harvey Oswald noticed that the route passed right by the Texas School Book Depository, his place of work, he felt the universe was talking to him.
A president riding in an open car sounds insane, but the reality is that a president had not been assassinated since McKinley in I could see how Kennedy, weighing the risk, would have felt reasonably safe.
We all know how that turned out. Jake Epping, an unassuming English teacher, is given an opportunity to go back in time. The time portal, located in the back room of a greasy spoon, will take him back to A year tantalizingly close to one of the most traumatic events in American history.
Jake, now George Amberson, just had to lay low and wait for to roll around and use that time to come up with a plan to stop the before mentioned Lee Harvey Oswald.
King explores the well traveled road of the potential devastating effects of changing the past to influence the future. What if Kennedy had not been killed?
My liberal leanings would have me believe that the world would be better today. There are piles of documentation showing that Kennedy had no intention of escalating the war in Vietnam.
As he proved with The Cuban Missile Crisis, he was a man that understood the bluff without committing the hardware. He was a man that had been to war, and I find it hard to believe he would have committed American kids to die in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
One of Stephen King's strengths is that despite the fact that he is wealthy man and one of the most successful writers in the world, he really understands common everyday people.
I found myself developing a real fondness for Jake. I winced when he failed. I whooped when things went well. His romance with Sadie is spun out so nicely that the Kennedy assassination almost becomes a back ground plot.
King placed a Japanese proverb at the front of the book and also used it so wonderfully in the plot. Every time I read it I find a smile on my face.
The margins are wide and the print large, so don't let the size of the book keep you from reading this charming book. I'm off to turn my time travel machine, nearly finished, back into something a little less dangerous to the world like a cappuccino machine.

It is important to me that I am well-liked. I will fuck up several times, but that is no problem because I have no life and therefore I will simply go back in time again and repeat the experience until I get things right.
At some point along the way, I will fall in love with an 80 year-old woman. Anyway, once I view spoiler [save JFK and am thanked with a lifetime supply of beer, I will finally return to the present.
But oh no! And yet even though there is no plausible reason whatsoever for this to be the case hide spoiler ] , I will nonetheless accept it as true and simply go back a-fucking-GAIN just to undo what I spent pages doing.
And that is my story. Shelves: recommended , suspenseful-clues-and-thrilling-rev , audiobooks , bookstagram-made-me-do-it. Life is busy, and yet I cannot shake the feeling of pleasure I received from reading this book.
It is a masterpiece, no doubt, but also the type of story that is suited to King's old style of dialogue and flair for throwback culture.
Dare I suggest that this book is the author's unicorn? Clearly he is immensely talented, and a good number of his other works are amongst my favorite novels of all time, but there is something unique to this historical time-traveling fiction that keeps blinking in my peripheral, almost like a jealous lover, keeping me from fully enjoying any book that I have picked up since finishing this one.
Maybe writing this review will give me a sense of release, or perhaps I'll gear up the old audible and dive in for a reread. If I'm wrong about the above statement and you haven't read this yet, all you really need to know going in is that an ordinary teacher from "present day" time travels back to the late 50's in preparation to attempt to prevent JFK's assassination.
However, even that above statement is deceitful, because that's literally all I knew about this book going in, and it is SO much more.
The way that Stephen King chooses to prepare us and lead us up to that moment is nothing short of brilliant; the process in getting to that fateful day is just as suspenseful, intriguing, and emotional as the climax.
As unbelievable as it sounds, King has written one of the most tender, intimate, and swoon-worthy romances of all time between these pages.
There are heaps of action, suspense, and easter eggs planted for fans who have read other books by the author visiting Derry right after the first summer that the Losers Club experienced Pennywise was unreal.
If you're an audiobook lover, I highly suggest listening to this book, or at least supplementing your hardcopy with it.
I would love to see King write something similar to this in the coming years, but even if he chooses not to, I'll cherish this experience, and every reread after, as one of the most compelling stories ever written in our contemporary age.

When discussing historical events and the potential impact of changing them both knowing what actually happened vs conjecturing what would happen if any details were changed , you have to make sure your knowledge of all related events is strong!
The tw Another big, big King book down! The two most common themes of this book are: will the past allow itself to be changed? I liked the extensive storytelling in this one.
Any of them would be an interesting story by itself, but none of them truly appreciated unless combined with all of the others.
A couple of times it felt like the story was starting over and I was a few hundred pages in! But, in the end I loved the whole package — quick places, slow places, exposition, character development, backstory, etc.
Compared to other King? Well, the character development, interaction, and dialogue definitely felt like King. At places it felt like a Dark Tower spin off.
There are direct references to some of his other novels view spoiler [specifically IT and Christine hide spoiler ] that will make King fans feel nostalgic.
But, in the end, I feel like the book is in a class all by itself that is not really like any other King book I have read before.
It is not horror. Know that you might devour it, or might need to set it down and take a break from it from time to time.
Either way I hope you enjoy — just know you cannot go back and change the fact that you took the time to read it.
I'll be honest here. It's really rare that I get through a book over pages, let alone Nook pages. It's also true that I have never read a single thing from Mr.
King until now. I'm not sure. Maybe his books intimidated me, because when I was younger everyone was always talking to me about how his books were so long, and blah blah.
I hear it's so much different than his other work, but I also haven't met I'll be honest here. I hear it's so much different than his other work, but I also haven't met a single person that didn't love it.
I read this book because everybody and their brother was recommending it to me as a "must read". I'm also not a big historical fiction fan, and didn't know how much I would enjoy reading about 20 years before my birth.
I had nothing to worry about. Here is a book that you never want to end, yet you do want it to end, because you need to know what is going to happen.
King introduces us to a man named Jake who insists that he is not emotionless despite the fact that he doesn't cry often.
I can relate to him right off the bat. Not a big crier, but I definitely feel emotions on a huge level. Jake is sent back to with a plan made up by a guy named Al who owns a local diner, and has the "rabbit hole" which is how they travel back in time.
At first his mission is just to stop Lee Harvey Oswald from assassinating JFK, but then little things pop up here and there making him consider a few new things that need to be changed.
I'm not going into any more detail than that, because I don't want to give away one single thing in this brilliant novel. Fans of his story "It" may be excited to know he revisits the town of Derry, Maine, where "It" was located.
The excitement and suspense in this book were astonishing. I held my breath in anticipation of certain things Jake had to do, and then some twist would come out of left field, and I would continue reading in awe.
There were also several sighs of relief and a couple of cute moments involving Jake's romance that just made me say "aww". I do feel like there were a rough ish pages that dragged on somewhere in the middle, and the book may have benefited by taking out a few things, but obviously I'm no expert.
That's just my opinion. Again, this may have also been just something I was feeling, because I was very impatient and really wanting to know how this book would end.
Some people didn't like the ending, but I loved it! In the afterword King discusses his research a bit.
You can most definitely tell that a lot of research and thought went into this novel. The descriptions are vivid and when I say you are really transported back to the 60's I mean it.
You will feel it. This is another of King's books that I could see as a film, too. If you are wanting to try a Stephen King book, but don't know if you will like all the horror, read this!

I'm so upset that it's over You got me at the ending there, Stephen. You really, truly got me. What can I possibly say about this wonderful, beautiful book?
That it's wonderful and beautiful? That's no where near enough praise. This book made it up to my top 3 favorites list by King placing at 3 and is probably my favorite book of if not tied with Shutter Island.
Reading this book, I was so worried about what the ending would be because, let's be honest here, we know King isn't the best at handling endings Exhibit A: Under the Dome , and I had a really strong feeling I knew what the ending would be, but that ending was just absolutely amazing It left everything wrapped up nicely, and was one of his better endings, if not his best or at least my favorite, even though it's not wrapped up with a pretty bow.
The last chapter made me grin ear to ear, but then it left me feeling sad beyond words can describe. To be honest, after I turned the last page or better yet, clicked, since I own a Kindle , I just sat there and bawled my eyes out, to the point where my husband got worried about me.
It was that sad. The characters in this book couldn't be better, and I really, truly mean that. I loved every single character with the exception of Lee Harvey Oswald Poor Marina Their love for each other was undeniable and irrevocable, and just so darn beautiful.
Who would have thought that the Stephen King we all know and love at least I know and love him could write a beautiful and touching romance alongside a thriller.
That was a great shock, and I hope he incorporates this skill of weaving a good relationship into a lot more of his books to come. Being a huge King fan, I couldn't wait for this book to come out.
But, in all fairness, I didn't expect to love it. I thought it would be average, maybe even "just okay" , but let me tell you I really, really loved this book.
And if you aren't a King fan, please pretty please don't let that stop you from reading this book. This book has absolutely no scary parts, for those of you who abstain from reading Stephen King's books because they are classified as horror, and, like I mentioned earlier on in this review, I actually cried at the end of the book the first time that I've ever cried while reading a King novel.
So, please, even if you don't like Stephen King, read this! It's an absolutely beautiful book, and one I wish I can read for the first time all over again.
And if you're still not convinced to read this, would it help if I told you that there's And if you're listening to the audiobook, maybe two boxes.
For those wondering, these are my top 3 favorite King books: 1: It 2: The Shining 3: this may shock some people I'll love your face no matter what is looks like.
Home is where you dance with others, and dancing is life. Don't we all secretly know this? It's a perfectly balanced mechanism of shouts and echoes pretending to be wheels and cogs, a dreamclock chiming beneath a mystery-glass we call life.
Behind it? Below it and around it? Chaos, storms. Men with hammers, men with knives, men with guns. Women who twist what they cannot dominate and belittle what they cannot understand.
A universe of horror and loss surrounding a single lighted stage where mortals dance in defiance of the dark.

Guess I missed this book. Nov 01, AM. Nov 19, David Putnam rated it really liked it. This one should've been five stars for me.
I think what happened was that I loved the concept when I read about the book and had envisioned something more. The story King wanted to write was all there and I truly enjoyed it.
As always with King this is a great study in character and the evolution of the character. In this case using time as an added conflict that applies pressure on the character.
King doesn't mess around with elaborate explanations on how or why the time travel works. It's just This one should've been five stars for me.
It's just a simple closet in the diner that the character steps into and we're off and running. I think this works mostly because we trust King so implicitly and that if he says it true it's true.
For me a good book caused me to think about the story even when I was not reading. In this case, while still into the book, I researched the actual incident, the assassination, to see how far King veered historically.
I found the topic so interesting I fell down the rabbit doing too much historical reading. I like the book a great deal and recommend it.

You've been warned. This is my first Stephen King read. I'm not a horror fan, but I love a good alternate history, and I figured that a story of a man who goes back in time to stop Kennedy's assassination could be one of those.
It isn't. Not the biggest hurdle, because this could still have been an enjoyable read if it had been abou Real spoilers are inside "spoiler" tags.
Not the biggest hurdle, because this could still have been an enjoyable read if it had been about a man who travels back to live in a different time and gives insightful commentary on the similarities and differences between these cultures.
This book wasn't that, either. It was exactly what I had naively been trying not to read: a horror. Your basic stabby horror, with a slight twist.
In this book, the immutability of the past, its obduracy to cling to what has already been, is the thing with teeth. I know that doesn't sound traditionally horrific, but its manifestation is that when the main character is trying to do something that would result in immediately changing the outcome of a big event--such as an event in which someone originally got killed--this aspect of the past intervenes repeatedly and violently to keep him from doing it.
Or all of those, and others. So the "dramatic" parts of the story involve our hero attempting to get to his destination and, for example, having to stop for green lights while traffic barrels through in the other direction, then having to go deal with his overwhelming diarrhea, then having to talk some completely random guy out of shooting him for a nonsense reason.
Then he has to deal with a topiary. A major part of the climax of the novel involves him trying to run up six flights of stairs having just broken a few ribs in a car crash, while also being a few weeks out of a coma.
There's a killing of a family by sledgehammer-wielding maniac described in detail multiple times in the first pages.
Later on, a woman gets her cheek ripped open by a knife-wielding maniac. Multiple people kill themselves in front of our hero by slitting their throats.
The structure of the novel is as follows: guy finds out he can easily go back in time to , to the same minute of the same day each time he goes.
He becomes part of his friend's plot to keep Kennedy from being killed. Except the guy doesn't quite believe this whole time travel thing, so he goes back to , spends about 2 months hanging out and making observations about what various companies' slogans are always reproduced in all caps, so that it feels like they're being yelled from the page , stops a violent crime from happening close to home, and zips back to to confirm that, yes, he did change the past.
He returns to , re-stops that crime, and then spends the better part of five years waiting for Kennedy's assassination attempt. That's the middle of the book: him sitting around in the early s, in a holding pattern, scoping out downtown Dallas and following Lee Harvey Oswald from a distance so he can convince himself that he really doesn't like this guy.
It takes at least pages for to arrive. The decision of what to do to Oswald is presented as simple and binary, in a way that bugged me throughout the book.
If our hero finds out that Oswald is the lone person behind the assassination, then the only course of action considered is for our guy to kill him.
There's some momentary advance remorse about that, but not much, because Oswald is known to have killed Kennedy in the real timeline.
The thing I still don't get is, in the real timeline, Oswald died as a direct result of having been arrested for Kennedy's murder.
Which means that a person who simply kept Oswald from being present on the parade route that day by any means necessary, gory ones included--slit the guy's arm open with a knife, for example would save both Kennedy's life and Oswald's.
No murder necessary. King doesn't even give this idea lip service--killing is presented as the only possible plan in order to get the assassination stopped.
Back to our hero. After he changes history, view spoiler [he finds out that human events are so important that if they get changed as significantly has he has altered them, the entire earth reacts.
Human events cause geological events. By stopping Kennedy's assassination, he initiates massive earthquakes, leading to lots of deaths and eventually to nuclear meltdowns years later.
All of which means that instead of King doing the thing that people tend to find intriguing when reading alternate histories--giving his answer to "what really would have happened with Vietnam and Civil Rights and all that if Kennedy hadn't been shot?
So you spend pages wondering what King thinks this history would have looked like with more Kennedy in it, and King's writing itself is very workmanlike.
He is rarely poetic or descriptive in ways that give any deeper meaning or even paint a vivid picture. This would be fine or something on the yawn-inducing side of fine if this were a fast, plot-driven book, but it's not.
The engine of the book is the main character's time travel journey back from to and the years immediately following, but nothing that he ever says makes this feel like reality.
The narrator is supposed to be 35 in , which places him in my own age cohort--but I think even someone 10 or 20 years older than I am, given the time-travel option, would have a lot of strong visceral reactions to the way the world was back then.
King has him comment on the fact that root beer tastes "fuller" from a soda fountain than it does in the present--but frankly, that doesn't give me much to go on, and he uses that same descriptor every time he references the root beer an awful lot without adding to the picture.
And that's it: he does nothing else to show how the experience of drinking at a soda fountain would be different from the experience that someone born in the late s would be used to at a diner in the 21st century.
It's like this with so many things: either our hero doesn't seem to notice all the little differences in daily life, or he treats these with a nostalgia borrowed from the author.
The representation of his age is wrong on other levels, too--the guy says he had never used a rotary phone before traveling to , even though many people from older generations like my grandparents and anyone else who could remember the Depression held on to their rotary phones until almost the s; and yet this same guy has a thorough and in-depth understanding of how to mess with records and record players to slow down playback.
His first time in , our hero buys what is apparently a cool s car and instantly falls in love with driving it, to the extent that he detests his Toyota Corolla with a passion when he gets back to The shift in his loyalties is instantaneous and unequivocal--no disorientation about the lack of seat belts or other now-familiar features in an older car, just a seamless love for all things vintage that feels too uncomplicated to be on-target.
The cigarette smoke is another of this kind of example: our hero comments that smoke and smokers are everywhere, but then just seems able to ignore it.
It rings false that a non-smoker who finds himself in a place where every restaurant and bank has people smoking in it, and where every hotel room, used car, and cab reeks of cigarettes, wouldn't have a lot more adjusting to do than just the casual shrug that the guy gives when he mentions it.
It may sound weird that, given a book that's far too long, I'd be complaining about a lack of words, but it's more that the things King chooses to say often don't contribute to the storytelling or plotting or character development or setting and instead are meaningless, repetitive, and make the lack of significant detail all the more conspicuous by its absence.
While I was reading this book, my commuting audiobook was TC Boyle's Drop City, which is set in a hippie commune in The contrast between how Boyle gives a sense of and how King gives a sense of is vertiginous.
Now for the -isms. After about pages of , it struck me that King was painting an idealistic, whitewashed picture of what was a turbulent and violent time with regard to civil rights.
And right then, our hero said exactly the same thing in the narrative: "in case this seems like an overly happy picture, let me tell you about this 'colored' restroom I saw outdoors in North Carolina.
He goes on to describe a rest stop in which the regular bathroom is labeled for use by whites only and the signs to the 'colored' restroom lead to something awful.
Completely reasonable and valid point made right there Anytime else in the book when he wants to talk about Civil Rights or unequal treatment or any of that, he references the bathroom in North Carolina.
It doesn't seem to matter that the character drives from Florida to Texas across all of the most virulently racist states in the South during a time when race-related violence was peaking, then lives in Texas for another few years.

Reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King -- Reading VlogSadie is brave, headstrong, resilient, and given her past, her outlook on life is inspiring. As for Jake, some of the decisions he makes without giving away any spoilers proves that he is simply a good man.
To take on such an arduous task, spanning years of your life, is admirable. And with these two amazing characters, King writes his greatest love story.
It is beautiful and heartfelt and REAL. It shook me to my core. If anyone ever tries to tell you that King can only write horror, slam this book in their face!
Although that's not to say that there aren't moments of horror Credit must also be given to the ridiculous amount of research that must have gone into this book.
The attention to detail is staggering - I personally cannot say how much of it is accurate as I don't know much about the JFK assassination - but I'm guessing King left no stone unturned.
I'm actually trying to convince my mum to read it as I think she'd love it, but she remains stubborn - I WILL break her!! On a final note, I'm intrigued as to what King's initial ending was - he says in the afternotes that Joe came up with a better ending than the one he had planned.
I wonder if it would have left me so dehydrated Does that make sense? It does to me. Truly incredible. View all 17 comments. How did you do that? And is that a laptop melted onto a lawn mower?
See there was this lightning strike and now I can use my time mower to visit the past and …. Wait a second. Oh, shit! What year are you from?
My name is George Amberson. You too? Oh, man. That old chestnut? But are you sure you should be changing stuff in the past?
That seems really dangerous and could cause all kinds of paradoxes. Or worse yet, accidentally become your own grandfather. We did a few trial runs, and everything seemed OK.
In fact, how do you time travel? I have a friend named Al who found a kind of portal in time. We call it the rabbit hole.
Every time you go through it, you wind up at the same day in our home town in Al went through the rabbit hole over and over for years and discovered that no matter how long you stay, when you go back through the portal, only two minutes have elapsed since you left.
The person he saved was alive, but if he goes back through the portal to the past again, then everything resets to the original timeline and that person would die, unless Al saved them again, right?
And you could go back to the past wearing that hat which resets everything, but when you went to the store you bought it from, the same hat would still be on your head and on the shelf at the same time!
Jake, are you sure about this? He worked it all out. Al is a baby boomer, right? A physicist? A historian? He owns the local diner.
He came through and lived here several years while he watched Oswald. So he went back to and told me about the rabbit hole. I just realized that you had to live here for five years waiting for this moment.
Damn, five years in the past must have sucked, Jake. You know, because of the reset. I had to spend some time in a really nasty town in Maine called Derry.
It was a very ugly place in They had some child murders. I started teaching again and built up a whole life for myself as George Amberson.
I really like it here in the past now. But they have really good root beer in this time. And stuff is really cheap!
I can buy a new car for peanuts. Speaking of which, how did you make money? Just teaching? Like I made a pretty penny betting on the Dallas Texans to beat Houston the other night.
It was very cool to bet on the Cowboys before they were even the Cowboys. The NFL started the Cowboys in Dallas just to screw with him, and he eventually had to move the team to Kansas City and change their name to the Chiefs.
The Cowboys were always the Cowboys. Are you sure about that, Kemper? Jesus, you are scaring the shit out of me.
I hope to hell you know a lot more about the JFK assassination than you do about pro football.
Did you at least bring some history books with you? You said that Al spent years getting ready for this? And each time hop only takes you two minutes, right?
I really wish you would have thought this through more than just doing a couple of test runs. You should have done that like twenty times.
It would have taken you just forty minutes, right? You see, for one thing, the time we spent in the past is still elapsed time.
The deeper you get into, the more you have to lose. You see, the past does not want to be changed.
If you try to revise something, it fights back. When we did our trial runs, it threw everything it could at us from car trouble to illness, and the bigger the event, the harder it tries to stop you.
And this seems like a good idea, Jake? I did this with the best of intentions. I mean, you seem like a nice guy. Good luck you poor bastard.
This was a big story in Dallas at the time and both teams did tons of promotions and advertising so it doesn't seem possible that Jake was somehow unaware of the existence of the Cowboys.
But the old Negro Leagues baseball team that had players like Satchel Paige was called the Monarchs, and you can still purchase Monarchs merchandise in KC today.
Are they mistakes or is King just being cute? And that makes me nuts. When I heard the concept of this book, I worried that King was succumbing to a bad case of baby boomer JFKitis, and the early parts of the book seem to have confirmed this.
I was greatly relieved that by the end of this book, King seemed to have set aside the rose colored JFK glasses and made that oddity about the objects part of a paradox instead of just a plot contrivance.
A Masterpiece! Awesome story!! Stephen blows my mind. His prose is so easy to follow and he is so clear what he is getting across to me, the reader.
It knows how to set up a character. There are a lot of bells and whistles in this story and its draw is Lee Oswald and the shooting of JFK.
Yet, this story is really a love story. It's a beautiful relationship the A Masterpiece! It's a beautiful relationship the two have and the love story holds the whole book together, in my opinion.
Jake goes back in time to stop the assassination of JFK. He lives in and he finds a strange time-hole that goes to and he has to live life in the past before he can stop Lee.
He moves to the Dallas area to a little town called Jodie, TX where he substitute teaches and becomes a full time staff. The librarian is Sadie Dunhill and they quickly become friends.
Half of the story almost is their story and about the kids at school. Stephen is a master a character writing. If you want to know how to write a character, then Stephen is the master to follow.
He uses that to build this community of Jodie and I was so pulled in. I almost didn't care about the rest, but it's so intricately woven together that it's all one thread.
As readers, especially someone like me who didn't know a whole lot about Oswald, Stephn has done his research and he packs this books with historical facts.
He plays here and there with timing and he lets us know in the afterward, but mostly, he sticks to the facts.
I am amazed how much is known about the spouse abusing messed up man. King really brings the humanity to Marina, his wife and their child and he even shows the humanity of Lee at moments with his daughter.
Marina put up with a horror show. The theme of this book is 'the past harmonizes' and Stephen drives this point home to good effect.
It becomes it's own harmonic in the book and it helps to bring all the stories going on together. I'm telling you, this is a layered masterpiece from one of the most gifted writers of our time.
He weaves historical fact with fiction with historical fiction with time travel with a love story for the ages. The idea of time travel is also dealt with.
What happens if time is changed? What would that do to the world? Would a good intention to change the past bring about the changes we want?
These are the questions explored in this book. The time travel is unique to what I've seen and I love it. In a dinner in the town Jake lives in, there is a "rabbit hole" and this particular hole leads to Everytime you go in, it's like a reset and anything you changed before is undone and it's always the exact same time you come out in.
It is a wonderful device Stephen came up with. Jake's friend hatches this plan to save JFK and Jake is the one who has to carry it out.
It's fascinating and it makes you wonder if a "rabbit hole might be possible and how interesting to make that happen.
It's a lovely device used in the story and all kinds of choices happen from it. You can go back and see the changes you made and then go back and tweek it.
This is now one of my Top 5 Favorite Stephen King novels. I really think it's a masterpiece and he is at the top of his game here.
I wish I had read it sooner, but I got it now. Also, I got my tome in this year, barely. It also makes me wonder how many more masterpieces Stephen has in him.
He seems to have one or more a decade. I guess 45 years of writing daily does pay off in a big way. I also have a harmonic resonance with Stephen and his work.
I was born in and he published Carrie in I find that interesting. I think my goal is to make a Stephen King year and I want to get caught up with his bibliography again.
I will see if I can do a book a month or so. There are some big ones left to read so that might be asking too much. View all 27 comments.
Feb 25, Felice Laverne rated it it was amazing Shelves: thrillers , full-review , historical-fiction.
The premise in itself was exhilarating, and the execution was near flawless. This one was a novel that absolutely could not have been tackled by just anyone and may have fallen flat on its face if handled by a less experienced craftsman.
Even characters who were fleeting left their mark, shocking me, tickling me, and provoking thought along the way. The jargon that King used to color the various neighborhoods and scenes from Maine to Florida to Texas was deliciously realistic—he has a knack for that, and it was on full display here—and I felt that I was fully immersed in the world that he painted.
This one gave me goosebumps in more than one place and food for thought in several others. And, refreshingly, King resisted painting the 50s as a happy-go-lucky time of just sock-hops and poodle skirts and gave the 60s the gritty air that it deserved.
He infused this glimpse at this time period with realistic strokes of segregation and poverty in his portrayal—truly showing us the world through King-colored glasses.
From backwoods Maine lingo to deep Southern vernacular, the voices were masterfully done and the characters were all fully realized.
There are biblical references and historical facts—and distortions of them that allowed for his own creative riff on the past—Gothic elements galore and grit.
True, unflinching blood-and-dirt-in-your-nails grit. This one came full circle in various parts of the novel, not just in the end in that formulaic way that we are all oh-so-familiar with, showing how all of the pieces connected hand-in-hand to tell one larger story.
Quite the narrative tool for building suspense and tension. But the sheer gravity of this novel and unimpeachable hand that resonated through to the very last page overrode those small annoyances.

Kennedy, which occurred on November 22, Epping gives an assignment to his adult students, asking them to write about a day that changed their lives.
One of the students, a janitor named Harry Dunning, submits an assignment describing the night his alcoholic father murdered his mother and siblings with a hammer and injured Harry, causing him to have a permanent brain injury; the story emotionally affects Jake, and the two become friends after Harry earns his GED.
Two years later, in June , Jake stops by a local diner and speaks with the proprietor, Al, who asks Jake to meet him at his diner the next day.
When Jake arrives, he is shocked to see that Al seems to have aged years since the previous day. Al explains that he is dying and that his appearance is attributable to his having time traveled and lived for years in the past.
Al's method of time travel is a time portal he discovered in his diner's pantry, which he used to transport himself to I had just sat down to begin this review on my laptop when the doorbell went.
I wasn't expecting anyone. It was probably going to be one of those pitiful door to door salesmen trying to get me to buy a dishcloth for a fiver.
They make me feel so bad. But it wasn't. I opened the door and looked at myself. It was me. I'm you. Sorry about that.
Like looking in a mirror, isn't it? But worse! So I went inside. I made myself a cup of tea and one for me too. We sat down at the table and regarded each other with frank horror.
Are you a clone? I'm from the future. It's that one there — " I gestured to the fat wedge on the table between us.
The one you were going to. You have to change it. How do you know what I was going to write, anyway, I haven't written it yet?
Come on, the guy in this book is a lot quicker on the uptake than this. I haven't got all day. You'd already worked up a few choice phrases, along the lines of So he goes back in time to and he's living through these years waiting to get to the assassination bit and that's where the story becomes this I-Love-The-Lates-Stroke-Early-Sixties loveletter from Stephen King to his own childhood.
The boring teacher gets to meet a girl and fall in lurve, sweet sweet lurve. That's not a spoiler, it's in the blurb, sweet sweet blurb. He gets to live in The perfect Small Town.
He gets to Affect Kids' Lives. He gets to blurt out anachronistic slang and have people look at him funny! He gets to wince at casual racism! It's all good.
But not for me. I wanted to get back to Oswald. I paid my damn ticket, and I wanted to see some Oswald. But for pages it may as well have.
But Oswald's the one that I want. Oooh ooh ooh. I was amazed — that was exactly what I was going to write. You can't deny it.
I know you were because you did it, that's to say I did it, and I'm here now to stop myself from doing it. I got the idea of looking for a portal when I read this book.
Why didn't you do something more useful than that? And I found somebody's lost cat for them. And now you — you're the last on my list.
Stephen King goes on and on and on about it. Because of that. Sorry about that, I gave myself away there. It can be confusing getting all this straight in your head when you're from the future.
Got any aspirin? Anyway, your nasty review gets to be unaccountably popular on Goodreads. I've been getting kind of middling results for months.
You're only as good as your last review, you know. It's a vicious world. No compassion. So that made it okay. After your review things… happen.
If your review persuades just one single person not to buy the book, then that's probably why in three weeks' time Japan splits in half and most people have got acne in the world of three weeks from now.

This will be awkward. Isn't there any place for me to hide? You could try to hide behind the settee but you'll have to shove it out from the wall, and she'll notice I think.

Not any ordinary journey, but an extraordinary and quite unique mission that he needs to take at once. For the most part the story moves along at a gentle speed, no rushing, no fast action, just an easy going way of telling a profound heartfelt tale.
However, when you least expect it the story line takes an abrupt turn with nail biting, breath-taking moments. Highly recommended to all readers.

What a bastard. Not only with killing Kennedy but in his marriage as well. The characters in Jodie, Texas made this book for me. He gave the teenagers heart along with the teachers and the whole community.
I loved every bit of it. Stephen King really nailed the baby-boom area. I could see it in my mind as I was listening to this audio book.
At the beginning, the narrator Craig Wasson would change voices to fit the character. He did it all from Texas and Russian accents, along with the annoying old woman.
Well done sir! Hahaha I loved Jake Epping. He was a complex and well-loved hero. He made this book for me. I would have been greedy, and gambling much more than he did in the book!
I also would have been a bit more bloodthirsty. Hey, I'm not going to lie. I highly recommend this book. Seriously, you won't regret reading this.
The story along with the characters will make you love, laugh and hate with a vengeance. I was crying at the end and the tension had me on the edge of my seat.
THIS is great writing and storytelling. Well done King! Oh yeah, one last thing. This damn word drove me nuts by the end. Use syllables next time King!
View all 29 comments. Oct 01, Lyn rated it really liked it. An excellent Stephen King novel. What had gotten his goat was that Stephen King was wallowing in C-notes the way a hog wades in mud.
King takes the Mark Twain A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court time machine idea of a strange occurrence that is never thoroughly explained or understood.
But this is Stephen King after all and he mixes in some mysterious elements to keep the story moving. King allows for an unusual magical setting rule: the traveler goes back to the same date every time, in September And so the plan is hatched to go back to save Kennedy.
It then stands to reason that our intrepid time traveler will spend five years in the past waiting for his rendezvous with destiny.
King uses this word over a dozen times in the book to describe how the past does not want to change and makes it difficult for our hero to save the day.
This kind of unleveling of the playing field is first rate King and his almost personification of time is one of the elements of this story that makes it so appealing.
King, in much the same way that Steven Spielberg does in film, finds the horrific and exciting in the ordinary. The monster is not just under the bed or in the closet, but in the laundry room, and buried inside a stack of old magazines — or in a pantry in a greasy spoon diner.
Hell yeah, elitist literary types, pay attention and you might learn something. At the end of the day, this is a very good book — a great story told by a master storyteller.

It sparked an interest for Lindsay that will surely lead her to read other books on this topic. We found that the action picks up right away as we quickly learn the details of the time traveling aspect of this novel and how most of the time traveling worked.
The time traveling was kept fairly simple and understandable. The story takes on a human side of it through the romance and the lives of the characters which takes up a lot of the middle of the book.
Showing us a pleasant, ordinary, and somewhat boring life for a bit of the story. We loved the romance that transpired within this story as it was a pleasant distraction from some of the political history, especially the Russian political history, that we all struggled with.
We like how King gave a story to angry, violent, and disturbed Lee Oswald giving us some interesting insight into his and his family's lives.
The story sagged and really dragged for us at times and we felt that a lot of unnecessary details could've been sliced and diced a bit and still tell a strong story.
Unfortunately, this did take a bit away from the story and was a bit discouraging. The chapters being broken done in sections did help getting through the length of this weight lifting book.
Jake was a very anchored character to reality and loved his desire and determination to change the future not only for his world but for all of mankind.
We LOVED good hearted and wounded Jake and Sadie and their tender relationship that had us rooting for them throughout the entire book.
We were completely caught off guard that this turned out to be somewhat of a love story — not what we were expecting at all and we absolutely loved that part of the novel.
Toward the end, we all kept looking for a twist that never came and felt that while we enjoyed the story, the book didn't quite live up to the hype we had expected.

This book is one of the best I have read in awhile for its length. It's pure genius. Who hasn't wanted do-overs in their life? I would probably go back to when I started high school and make wiser decisions.
I would have loved to have heard the conversations between Stephen King, his wife and their son, Author Joe Hill. His wife still stands with the theories that Oswald didn't act alone, and Joe Hill thought of another way to end the book.
The way King describes the characters in this makes the This book is one of the best I have read in awhile for its length. The way King describes the characters in this makes them very believable and ones you become attached to.
The lead character is complex and often alone. I was often thinking to myself, "no, don't do that, do this. To reveal more would require spoilers.
The strength of the story actually lies with the characters, and the bonds that they form. I felt their emotions just like I was there.
I could taste the root beer in the frosted mug at the soda fountain counter. I think if people try to argue the "what ifs" and the politics of this book, you are missing the point.
The book is long by some peoples standards but I thoroughly enjoyed every page. It keeps you guessing a lot of the time which I liked.
Overall, this book is phenomenal. I can tell King did a lot of research on this book, but now I want to know more. This is a fast for the length of the book and I highly recommend it Jake Epping is having a normal day when his friend Al, who owns a diner, lets him in on a big secret.
Al's little diner has a portal that leads back to the 's - 60's! And Al wants Jake to go back and try to save Kennedy to see if the world would be a better place.
Al has been trying for awhile but now he's going to die of cancer and he can't do it any more. But if Jake goes into that time and comes back to and has to go back then it resets.
More slowly than ever, I said: "Every. Jake heads over a few times in the book just to get the feel of what he's trying to do.
He wants to help save a persons family that he knows from this time. Anyhoo, while he's over there he gets himself a Ford Ragtop Sunliner to cruise around in and it's cherry red.
Oh and cheap, back in the day and all! At one point poor ole Jake thinks he's done cracked his nut, and who wouldn't?
I'm crazy, I thought. Crazy and having a terribly involved hallucination in a mental hospital somewhere. Perhaps some doctor will write me up for a psychiatric journal.
He feels like the place is not right I was so crazy reading this part. Some of the towns people also talk about some of the stuff that happened when you know who was around.
And don't mention clowns in the town! It was just bittersweet to me because I could picture some of the things from the other book with the descriptions in this book.
So Jake gets what he wants done in Derry after two attempts of resetting and then he's off to do the main deed. But, first he gets some jobs as a substitute teacher etc.
He's a teacher in And he falls in love. Yep, can't do nothing without falling in love! And the lovely lady would be Sadie Dunhill.
At first I was a little irritated that we had to go off track and fall in love. I wanted to continue on and not get into the drama that came with Sadie but it all worked out in the end.
Sadie was a sweet person and I can't really say anything else without major spoilers. Either way, I loved the stories and I loved the characters!
If you haven't looked at the end of the book there are some lovely things added. Obviously you have the Afterword, You have questions for discussion for your book group, A conversation with Stephen King, Playlist from the book, Menu from the book which I am excited over as I'm going to make some of the food :- Another winner in my book, Mr.

You can't quit this, and you can't put it down. It's a giant something super delicious slipped between two covers and you can't devour it quickly enough.
And it's startling. And thought-provoking. And memorable. And the story races along, pretending it's just some white-knuckling, heart-racing, page-turning pulp fiction, but it sucker punches you.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. When a dying friend shows him a portal to in the back of his diner, Jake Epping finds himself venturing in the past with one goal in mind: Stopping Lee Harvey Oswald!
But did Oswald do it? And can Jake stop him even if he did fire the shot that killed JFK? Here's how it all went down. Jake's friend, an old diner owner, shows him a portal back to Each trip is like the first When a dying friend shows him a portal to in the back of his diner, Jake Epping finds himself venturing in the past with one goal in mind: Stopping Lee Harvey Oswald!
Each trip is like the first trip, meaning Al has been buying the same 12 pounds of ground beef at prices for years. Al wants Jake to stop the Kennedy assassination, something Al had been planning on doing until cancer laid him low.
Jake gets railroaded into doing it and finds himself blundering around after Lee Harvey Oswald until Yeah, it didn't sound that exciting to me either at first but I was hooked right away.
Stephen King is criminally underrated as a writer, mostly because he writes mammoth best sellers more often than I clean my downstairs bathroom.
Frequency aside, he can write the shit out of things. I had no trouble buying Jake's romance with Sadie, nor his reluctance to kill Oswald without being sure he was guilty, nor the idea that the past doesn't want to be changed.
When the big moment came, I felt like the entire universe was at jeopardy, much like I did in The Dark Tower. Speaking of The Dark Tower, there are Stephen King Easter eggs in abundance, like Jake meeting a certain two children in Derry, to the Takura Spirit he sees by the road late in the tale.
Remembered a day after reviewing: There's also a Jim Thompson reference in that there's a sign outside Jodie reading Pop. I even wrote that on a post-it but forgot about it during the intitial review writing process.
I like the way King handled time travel, especially this exchange between Jake and Al, which I'm paraphrasing: "What if you went back in time and killed your own grandfather?
A lot of time travel stories neglect that. While I was reading this, my girlfriend, who forcibly recommended the book to me, asked what I would do with a time portal that functioned like this one, returning two minutes after you left no matter how much time you spent in the past.
I told her I'd sneak away and take long naps or go on reading vacations for a week or two of subjective time. That's one way to get some serious reading done.
I did have a few complaints, though. Jake does some awfully conspicuous things in the past for a guy who's trying to fly under the radar.
Also, the aforementioned boner for JFK and his era. I have to think King was looking at the 50's and 60's through rose colored glasses. Food and drink tasting better in the past?
Sounds like nostalgia to me. All in all, this was the shortest page book I've ever read and one hell of a read. I do not envy whichever book I read after this one.

Stephen King takes ideas and strings them together like no other author to which I have a reading history.
The story is not Ray Bradbury in its sci fi nature. In fact it reads like any regular story set in the past.

King is very attentive to detail, especially those as they related to life in the s and s prices, cars, clothes, lifestyle and the flow worked very well.
I did not find a strain as the story took a long time to get to its title significance assassination of JFK and King used the time and pages to build some very strong ties in with characters and setting, so much so that I almost forgot where we were headed.
Even some great character cameos made for a thrilling read. King underlines the theme of time travel and changing the past.
How one block out of place can unravel the entire past and future. I liked the latter part. I do not want to ruin the book for anyone, but you needn't worry about being a historian or political nut.
