The grandmaster of storytelling, the Dickens of modern times is back with another top read.

He's back with no Here's Johnny! but certainly here's Lee Oswald! a brutal husband and a father.
The stage is set the focal time 22nd November 1963, enter the main protagonist Jake Epping soon to be known as George Amberson down the Alice in Wonderland Rabbit Hole, the mission to rewrite history. What Jake undertakes has deeper impact on himself than he could wish.

You get the feel from this novel that the 1960's was a lovely era, it had a feel of innocence in the air, boys with flattop crew cuts, girls with ponytails and shin length poodle skirts. Jitterbugging and lindyhopping. There is fully flavored Root beer and Catcher in The Rye was banned from school libraries.
Jack travels to 1958 and starts his new life with taking up the position of an English teacher in a school that he finds he really loves teaching at and meets people that are to change his future. For a man who has in the past hardly shed a tear he is to learn many new emotions and he can't quite understand how to deal with those responsible for them. In the course of preventing the Kennedy assassination he finds himself with a few obstacles. He also tries to undo another history of a friend from his present, one of the murderous kind. Feel immersed and enjoy a heart warming story of humanness.

The beauty and skill of Stephen King's writing is he brings to the table ordinary individuals and pitches them against adversity, some are triumphant others not. The age old battle of good versus evil he does so well, the master conjurer of nightmares, the writer of redemption and darkness of the heart. He writes the character driven story well and don't think he's lost his swagger as he has plenty of steam in his tank and proves it year by year. This is not a king novel in the way as The Shining was a horror novel but is a King novel in that he writes so well with the darkness of heart as a key player. He keeps turning out good stories.
Its a hard market the short story category but King always seems to revive the art of Short story telling. Full Dark No Stars by King done so well in 2010 and this year I am sure 11.22.63 as a novel is to lead as the best of 2011.

"If you ever wanted to change the world, this is your chance. Save Kennedy, save his brother. Save Martin Luther King. Stop the race riots. Stop Vietnam, maybe' he leaned forward. 'Get rid of one wretched waif, buddy and you could save millions of lives."

"Money comes back. It stays no matter how many times you use the rabbit-hole."

"life turns on a dime, and when it does, it turns fast."

"The Cullums were at one end of the seesaw; the Oswalds were at the other. And Jake Epping, also known as George Amberson? He was the tipping point."

"There's an old saying: peek not through a knothole, lest ye be vexed. Was there ever a bigger knothole in human history than the Internet?"

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.

11/22/63 is a supernatural, quasi-historical, philosophical, science-fiction love story.

WOW! Holy crap! This book was amazing, and is my 3rd favorite book by Stephen King... I was so worried about what the ending would be, and I had a feeling I knew what it would be, but, that ending was great... It left everything wrapped up nicely, and was one of his better endings; it made me smile, but also made me sad at the same time. I liked the purpose of the character the Card Man, even for the short time he was in the book, but the real star in this book was the relationship between Georg...more

It's really rare that I get through a book over 500 pages, let alone 700 (Nook pages). It's also true that I have never read a single thing from Mr. King until now. Why? 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. Anyway, I am proud to say that 11/22/63 was my first book read by Stephen King. 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 1963 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 100ish 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.

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.

11/22/63 is a truly memorable, wonderfully written book that I have already recommended to several family members and friends, and I will continue to recommend for years to come. This is another of King's books that I could see as a film, too.(less)

I’ve decided to do this primarily because a fat man who serves me 53 year-old cheeseburgers (with whom I share only a vague casual acquaintance) has told me that I should. There is no other real reason for me to being doing this. There really isn’t. Once I’m there, I will also risk my life to save a bunch of other people that I barely know because I want to demonstrate how amazingly selfless I am. 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. But don’t worry!—when I go back in time, she’s 27. So that’s no problem, either.

Anyways, once I save JFK and am thanked with a lifetime supply of beer, I will finally return to the present. But oh no!—saving JFK has caused massive earthquakes (WHAAA???) and now the entire country is a complete nuclear wasteland!! And yet even though there is no plausible reason whatsoever for this to be the case, I will nonetheless accept it as true and simply go back a-fucking-GAIN just to undo what I spent 800 pages doing.

And that is my story.

Except actually it isn’t. Now that I’ve returned more or less permanently to the back-to-normal present, I have decided to hunt down my former lover like the psychopath that I am and dance with her one last time. In my head, it’s oh-so-sweet and will bring a tear to your eye. But in your sane reality, it will probably have the effect of making you want to vomit—cuz she’s EIGHTY. It’s like that scene in Ghost where Sam uses Oda Mae’s body to put the moves on Molly. We get that it’s Patrick Swayze in spirit, but somehow we can’t let go of the knowledge that it’s actually Whoopi Goldberg who’s feeling up Demi Moore.

It's no mystery that I am a rabid King fan, and have been ever since I read Salem's Lot way back in 1975. Each new book holds the promise of another singularly well-told tale filled with suspense, terror, and a sardonic wit. Does he have his duds? Absolutely...witness The Tommyknockers, The Dark Half, and Dreamcatcher, for example. At his worst, he's overly didactic, infantile, and runs his patented catch phrases into the ground.

* Roger Ebert wrote of the movie Pearl Harbor that it "is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle." The paraphrase for King's book is a natural: it's a 200-page novel squeezed into 800 pages, about how on November 22, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated the world's most powerful love affair. Or at least tries to. You'll have to see for yourself how it all turns out.

Not sure how it got past me, but it did, and I knew nothing about it when I received it as a gift for Christmas and began reading the following day.

But anyway, you specifically ask about Derry here, so I'll answer! If I imagine the book without Derry, I miss a lot of character development, one of the most suspenseful parts of the entire story, a lot of groundwork laid out for how this whole 'changing the past' thing works in terms of it fighting against him and such, and a lot of the emotional impact of the story as a whole. I think his compulsion to stop this drunken madman who destroyed the life of the janitor gave me a lot of my sense of the character of Jake (who I really liked, p.s.). And I sympathized a lot with that compulsion. The Kennedy assassination is so huge, so world-impacting, that it's a sort of overwhelming concept to imagine being able to go back in time and change it. But the notion of knowing this one tragic story and discovering you can make it better is really interesting to me. As I recall, it was the janitor's story and the possibility of changing it that compelled Jake to go down the rabbit's hole in the first place. It also connects to the Oswald thing in that it was relatively easy for him to kill the psycho in Derry because he knew for an absolute fact that this guy would kill his entire family but one. With Oswald, a large part of the conflict is that he doesn't know for absolute certain that it was just Oswald. I feel like it works in addressing what a lot of readers might have pointed to as a much easier route to the solution - just kill Oswald at any time on any day when you're living right next door/across the street from him. So I felt like King gave us that simple solution in Derry. But I more fully appreciated the complexity of the situation with Oswald for having read the Derry section.

I honestly never felt the length of the novel. As you acknowledge, King has loads of talent, and I really believe all elements came together well and everything worked for me.(less)

There are two types of Stephen King readers.

The ones who just read his stuff because it is usually "horror" and the ones who know what I mean when I saw all stories lead to The Tower. It is impossible to explain how each book is a brick in a much larger wall to someone who hasn't read every single book but trust me when I say...it is an incredible way to read books.

The ones who just read his stuff because it is usually "horror" and the ones who know what I mean when I saw all stories lead to The Tower. It is impossible to explain how each book is a brick in a much larger wall to someone who hasn't read every single book but trust me when I say...it is an incredible way to read books.

So to me there are two ways to read King's work. On it's own merit and how it connects to the rest of The Tower. The last tower book ended so badly that I had sworn off King for the foreseeable future if not forever. But I love time travel and I love books about JFK. So I am pretty sure he wrote this book just to rope me in again. I tell you this so you will understand my review.

As a book, it is incredible. Once again King takes us back to the late 50's in a way no one else seems to be able to do. The stark difference between that time and ours is almost like reading a fairy tale or ancient history. Unlike Donna Reed or Leave it to Beaver his past isn't perfect in every way, but it is so obviously NOT our time. I am not going to spoil anything but if you don't know the story is about a man who goes back in time to stop JFK from being killed then I'm not sure what you thought it would be about. The story is good, the time travel aspect is decent and the end made me tear up.

Now for the part that counts.

This is so a Tower book it is insane. If you are a Tower freak like me, this book is for you. It has everything you are looking for, a continuation of IT in a way, creepy homeless guys that aren't what thy seem, a word that is creepy and meaningless at the same time (JIMLA!) and the number 19. The best part is that there is an explanation which is a rare commodity in a King book.

At the heart of the story is a love story that I will remember for a long time.

A must read for Tower fans. A great read for Kennedy buffs. A sweet read for a good love story. A decent time travel story.

A FANTASTIC Stephen King book.(less)

Oh, and probably kill Oswald, if he gets around to it. What a waste of time travel.

It's not so much an alternate history of the JFK assassination -- it's more a story of a teacher who travels from 2011 to 1958 so he can ... become a teacher? Oh, and probably kill Oswald, if he gets around to it. What a waste of time travel.

The main character's motivation for saving JFK (i.e., the whole fucking plot) is sketchy at best. He (Jake) admits he's not into politics, and SK barely shows him thinking one way or another about Kennedy. You'd think if you're going to go through a goddam time portal and possibly be killed or imprisoned trying to save a man, you'd at least have feelings about him. The motivation is less about saving Kennedy and more about killing Oswald because he's a loser unworthy of changing history.

Worst of all: it's not even his plan. It's someone else's plan. A character he barely knows has gone to the trouble of coming up with a LH Oswald assassination plot, helpfully describing everything into a notebook. When this guy finds he's physically unable to finish the job, he enlists Jake, our hero, to finish it for him -- again, two people who know each other only slightly. This isn't how people act. This isn't even how fictional characters act. This is how characters act when they're being moved around by necessity to fulfill plot points. And for someone who knows he's going to travel back in time to a specific point in history, Jake has no research of his own about the period beyond pop music and some vague knowledge of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'd think he'd want to bone up a bit beforehand.

Whole chunks of the book can go directly into the trash. King spends stretches of the novel describing how the main character becomes an inspiring drama teacher at his Texas high school. Pointless and boring. It's like Mr. Holland's Opus grafted into the middle. The first part of the book is pure fan-service, where the main character goes back in time to Derry, Maine, to save a friend from seeing his family murdered. It has fuck-all to do with the rest of the book -- a flimsy excuse for King and fans to hang around in post-"It" Derry for a while, even meeting some characters and shooting the shit about that book's plot for a while. But oddly it's probably the most genuine and most interesting section. If revised judiciously, he could've written a smoking hot 250-page book instead of a bloated 850-page one.

I knew once the main character got partial amnesia and knew he'd gone back in time to kill someone but plum forgot who, and plum forgot that he had some guy's notebook detailing exactly who and how and why, then just as mysteriously began to remember again, that there was no way I was going to leave this book happy. That's some soap opera bullshit right there.

The rest of the characters are broad and familiar stereotypes, but that's Stephen King for you.

I have a soft spot for SK. I read this one because it's getting great reviews. I didn't see it. Maybe it's just me. Rant over.(less)

There is however for me (and I sure for some other readers) a sad fly in the ointment, but it doesn't ruin the book by any means and is an example of something that will happen in many books. I hope we can all learn to enjoy books in spite of situations like the one I find and am mentioning here.

First, before I mention a negative, let me point out that I rate this a high 4 star book and recommend it. I find this a good book. I think anyone who can think will have no problem with what does bother me a bit.

So before I give the molasses, the sweet what is this sulfur I refer to? Mr. King is an intelligent man. I say that up front, however this only makes this a bit sadder. The book takes place in the late 50s (begins in 1958) and proceeds into the early/mid 60s ( Nov. 1963 obviously), I lived there. King notes that it was a good time to live in many ways, unless you weren't white. This is true and ***note please*** I'm not denying it. The problem here is that as we read the book we have to put up with the constant, well I would call them "thinly veiled attempts" to correlate modern day conservative thought with pre-Civil Rights movement racism...but it's not even thinly veiled. It's out and out there. At one point we get an obvious slap at the "Tea Party" movement.

I'm not going to spend an entire review defending conservative thought and pointing out that it's as far from racism as you can get and demands equality. I'm not going to belabor the fact that in the '60s the political party that stood in the way of civil rights legislation at every turn was the Democrat part... I'm just going to say that this is a prejudiced and ill-informed position to take. Conservatives are not racists (though some who use the title "conservative" may be. Some people commit murder and say they're doing it it God's name, in spite of the whole "love your neighbor", "do unto others as you WOULD HAVE THEM do unto you" thing. We can't control what people call themselves. Just because someone says they're a bird doesn't mean they can fly).

I hold strongly to freedom of speech, this is Mr. King's book and I support his complete freedom to believe and say what he wants and to put this into his books whenever and however he chooses. I simply point out that here some of us who find racism repugnant find ourselves basically called racist as we read this book, because we are conservative. I'd say, read it, take it with the proverbial grain of salt and don't let it ruin the book for you. Unfortunately this is a common belief among those who don't really know what conservatives believe. (That can be found in the founding documents of the country...you know that "all *people are created equal" thing?).

Okay, that aside this is on the whole an exceptional story. There is a strong dose of nostalgia for those of us who recall the era in question (and even a bit of an earlier era). The love story will touch you I believe, unless you have managed to petrify your heart. The King fans (both "dyed in the wool" and marginal as I am) will enjoy spotting the King multiverse tie-ins. The book, the plot and the characters are so well constructed that you'll join in the story as it flows.

There are a couple of places where it will (I suspect) begin to drag out for some readers a bit. It did for me when (view spoiler) If you've read much science fiction you may begin to put some things together near the end, but even if you do it won't ruin the book for you.

Mr. King in his closing notes gives a bit of credit to his son (Joe Hill) for the ending we get. It is (view spoiler)

So, while it's not a grand slam, I'd say it's definitely a home run. I've mentioned before that I'm not what would be called a Stephen King fan. I don't care for all his work but he has written some books that I like and others that I would say are exceptional. This is I believe among the latter. (less)

Wow. This book is a mess on so many levels I'm not sure where to even begin. First, it's a damn shame that King chose to take what could have been an interesting story centered around the Kennedy assassination and turn it into nothing more than a liberal lovefest worshipping all that is Kennedy and a political diatribe against all that is Republican, conservative and/or religious. I was well aware of King's political views when I read this book, as well as every other King book I've read, but...moreWow. This book is a mess on so many levels I'm not sure where to even begin. First, it's a damn shame that King chose to take what could have been an interesting story centered around the Kennedy assassination and turn it into nothing more than a liberal lovefest worshipping all that is Kennedy and a political diatribe against all that is Republican, conservative and/or religious. I was well aware of King's political views when I read this book, as well as every other King book I've read, but never have his politics so thoroughly suffocated a book as they did here. What's worse is that the book was marketed as a time-traveling thriller when in fact it was just an opportunity for King to trash his political foes and blame them for all that is wrong in the world while at the same time completely ignore historical fact to idolize and worship Kennedy as some kind of peacenik when, in fact, he was not. It's clear that King has absolutely no respect for his conservative readership and doesn't mind crapping all over them when it suits his purpose. Disgraceful.

Putting aside the political issues, the book is, structurally, a disaster. Had King bothered to try to tell a cohesive story with compelling characters, he may have been able to overcome the political bias and permitted us to enjoy the story. Alas, no. The characters are flat, one-dimensional and lacking any compelling characteristics (How can you write an 840-page book and have zero character development???) The love story between George/Jake and Sadie is so overwrought with every silly cliche imaginable that you just don't give a damn what happens to either of them in the end. The scenes with George following Oswald drag on and on interminably to the point where I found myself reading quickly just to get past them. The story contains plot twists that are so manufactured and forced that I didn't buy them for a second. And the climax is so rushed, and the ending so schmaltzy and convoluted, that I honestly couldn't wait for it to end. I find it shocking that the same man who wrote The Stand, It, Pet Sematary and other classics penned this disaster. Maybe if King had spent less time focusing on his political views and more time on the execution of the story, we would have had something worthwhile here. Unfortunately, the book reads like a lame, cardboard-cutout "thriller" in the vein of hacks like Dan Brown. This is, by far, the worst book Stephen King has ever written, and I've read all but two of them. What a major, major disappointment. Read it at your own risk. (less)

"The butterfly spreads it's wings."

I love Stephen King and I always look forward to what he might bring us next. This book takes us to a scary place, an often sought after place but at times difficult to find, it reaches deep within the chasm, only to find a place in the heart. Love, romance, selflessness, compassion, empathy, connections, and perseverance, are all what this King novel is about. You already know that it is about JFK, about Lee Oswald, and of course time travel, but you might not realize that Stephen King is only using those subjects to explore the deeper more profound subject, the supernatural mystery that we call love.

This is a long book, but it is a very fast read. Yes, this is an oxymoron, but King's prose is easy on the eyes. There is always so much to take in that you cannot stop reading, and up you find that the hours have simply disappeared. This book has a great deal of humor, fun, nostalgia, and down right likability. Funny thing, I connected more with and this book about the early 60's, which was before my time, then I did with the way overhyped 80's novel (My Era), Ready Player One. King does a truly amazing job at making us feel what it might have been like to live in that time period, enjoying a root beer, while reminiscing with friends.
King has a way that make his words paint pictures in our head.

Jake is a larger than life man that tries to take it all on his own. He feels the need to make things right and it drives him ever forward. Sadie is a super strong, amazing heroine, who gave this book it's depth and feel, and of course dancing. I loved all the chapters that centered on her the most. An amazing and colorful supporting cast, literally, as one is called "The Yellow Card Man". This is a character novel, and King does not disappoint.

I am not going to summarize the book as many other better reviewers than me have already done a much better job than I can. I will offer up, that if you are a Stephen King fan, you should not miss this one, as he bravely takes us on a supernatural trip of the heart.

"Here's another thing that I do know. The past is obdurate for the same reason a turtle's shell is obdurate: because the living flesh inside is tender and defenseless.
And something else. The multiple choices and possibilities of daily life are the magic we dance to. They are like strings on a guitar. Strum them and you create a pleasing sound. A harmonic. But then start adding strings..."

I really was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It will stay with me for a while. It is not however without faults as I found the nearly 200 pages that told the story of Owsald and Mairna to be incredibly boring...I simply did not care to see the monster in any normal light. Ultimately though, that part of the book did nothing for our story, and it brought the plot to a standstill for far too long.

In the end, this is a great read..

Read this book!!!(less)

It was nice to read a current book for once... and not just a YA current book... I keep pretty up to date with those.

My favorite themes are time travel and dystopia.

The premise of this book is: small spoiler alert, I'm not going to give much more away than what's on the inset of the book: (view spoiler)

So, the premise is alright. Who hasn't seen Back to the Future? Just a little one and it's kindof funny...: (view spoiler) ... And another thing about book club...(view spoiler)

At any rate, I liked the book. I thought it was a little long, but the book flies. It's a quick, quick read. Here's the thing I most despised though: don't read this one if you're going to read the book. It might give some stuff away for real. (view spoiler)

So, that about wraps it up. Tell me if you agree or disagree. I'm dedicating this three-starred review to my friend Dan Graber, who was certain I'd give it four stars. He also didn't give me permission to put his name out on internet. Here's to your digital footprint, Dan... Here's to your digital footprint.(less)

The past is obdurate for the same reason a turtle's shell is obdurate: because the living flesh inside is tender and defenseless.

…when that happens, you see that the world is barely there at all. Don’t we all secretly know that? 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.

I may be a mad dog fan of Stephen King, but that doesn’t mean everything he writes gets me foaming at the mouth. Over the years there have been disappointments -- but this book is not one of them. I would rank King’s foray into time travel and historical fiction as a rousing, emotional, unforgettable success for in it he is doing what King does when writing at his absolute best – create an epic, original story arc that grips the reader with a serious case of “the gottas” (as in, I gotta know what’s going to happen next) and people it with richly drawn characters with unique pasts and motivations that empower them to walk right off the page.

Kennedy’s assassination may not be THE shot heard round the world, but it definitely qualifies as one of them. For those Americans who lived through it (and other interested observers from afar) it became one of those watershed moments in history (where were you when it happened?) Not just because a President was murdered in cold blood (a rare event if there ever was one), but because he was the youngest President, a father of two small children with a beautiful wife, cut down in the prime of his life. Kennedy carried a mystique around him as a tall, handsome, capable man who was going to steer America into the horizon of a happy ending. He had his detractors (no doubt about that) and those who felt he robbed Nixon of the 1960 election, but his obvious charisma and charm garnered him an equal amount of support and admiration as well.

His death shocked millions and left a generation of supporters to wonder what if? What if Kennedy had lived? It’s easy to build someone into a hero and a saint after they have died too young. It happens all the time. When it happens to a man such as Kennedy? That myth-building starts immediately and never ceases. The "walk on water" Christ mythology that sprouted up around Kennedy since his assassination definitely exists. Baby boomers like to believe that had he lived he could have saved an entire generation, but that's just wishful thinking. Kennedy was just a man. Not a saint or a miracle worker. He had his flaws and shortcomings like anyone else. Yet the temptation to believe an America where Kennedy had lived would be a better America persists to this day, and King, being the master storyteller that he is, taps into that long held dogma and runs with it as only he can.

At the heart of this story is the sexy question: if you could change history, would you? Should you? It’s nothing but hubris and complete folly to assume that the changes you wrought would guarantee something better. There are no guarantees in this life except for one: the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. King is taking one of his country’s watershed moments – the Kennedy assassination – and sending an unassuming English teacher back in time carrying all the “good intentions” in the world. Jake Epping has a mission and his heart is filled with the certainty that what he is doing is the right thing. Such a man can be a fool, a hero, or very dangerous. At his most influential, such a man will be all three.

I love time travel – the unintended consequences, the paradoxes, the complete mindfuck it can turn out to be. That’s why The Butterfly Effect is one of my favorite movies and I adore when Homer sends himself back in time to the land of dinosaurs and tries to get back to a present he can live with. Without getting too geeky science-fictiony about the whole process, King creates a believable portal into the past complete with its own rules and peril.

Something else this novel does is paint a very intimate portrait of small town American life circa 1958-63 (and a visit to Derry!) King knows small towns like nobody’s business and when he writes them he takes the reader by the hand and drops them directly into the landscape. But King isn’t doing just small towns here; he is writing a particular time as well as place. He creates a sense of nostalgia, but one with teeth. There is the sugary, Land of Ago where everything is cheaper and shinier and seemingly more innocent, but mixed with the darker, hidden elements of racism, domestic violence, and poverty. King’s microscope misses no detail – there is glory and wonder, but there is ugliness and harshness too.

Under King’s microscope is also a very real historical figure, and that is Lee Harvey Oswald. I love what King is able to accomplish here, showing Oswald as a regular guy, a small man who beat his wife, a small man who suffered from a bad case of arrogance and delusions of grandeur. Under the microscope is also Oswald as the Lone Gunman. Was he or wasn’t he? I found this part of the novel to be the most gripping and engaging. Jake Epping’s long, lonely stakeouts, his stalking and hunting of Oswald made the most sense to me, and rang the most true. Jake Epping finds love and friends, but his relationship with Oswald is the one I will never forget.

Epping is us and we go on this adventure not just with him, but in a way as him. I figure this is as close any of us will ever get to traveling back in time in an attempt to change history. It all feels so real -- King hits upon every sense – you are seeing, smelling, tasting, touching and hearing all at once. It is an intoxicating brew, a cautionary tale for the ages. Highest possible recommendation!!!!!!!!!!!! (less)

I've never read anything by Stephen King before, but was assured that this one was "different." It was that promise coupled with a keen love of time-travel stories that helped me to overcome my inhibitions.

First, there is no doubt in my mind that Stephen King is a master writer. This book has a phenomenal premise which is executed with precision. His ability to weave together a massively complex story in a series of harmonizing overlays impressed me. Likewise, his ability to increase the tension slowly but inexorably until the story comes to a roaring boil was done masterfully.

I would like to offer some significant cautions, however. Anyone alarmed by generous doses of profanity would become increasingly bothered as the book progresses. There is also quite a bit of violence and dark psychological material in play--some of it necessary to the plot and some of it a bit gratuitous. Over and above the entire story line, even the cheerful bits, hangs an oppressive sense of doom.

In short, although this book is well-written, well-plotted, and not quite as horrifying as I had expected something by Stephen King to be, I do not think that it was as "different" as I had been promised. In the end, it's a book by Stephen King, whose reputation for dark, twisted stories will not be altered with the publication of this book. I have no doubt that in the hands of anyone else, this would have been a very different book... most likely one I would have enjoyed more.

On a slightly-related note: In his Afterward, King gives a shout out to Jack Finny, citing Time and Again as "the great time-travel story." With all due respect to the book, which is good, one can only wonder if Mr. King has had time to make the acquaintance Connie Willis's Blackout and All Clear. Now there's a writer who can lay down a genuinely gripping and fully historical time-travel adventure without messing about with so much creepily dark psychology.(less)

King hit one out of the ball park with this one! I have read many Stephen King novels but I feel that this was his best by a long shot. It seemed more like his legacy book that transcended all the others.

I love Stephen King’s writing. It is easy to read and full of funny one-liners that make you chuckle yet leaves you with a heavy heart. “I told him he was certainly welcome to his opinion; like assholes, everybody had one.” He incorporates classic American references that you can relate to making you glad you are in on the joke. The “Era of Universal Smoking”, the taste of a classic root beer, and driving a convertible ’54 Ford. I can just picture Stephen King sitting on his porch at home overlooking his land drinking a beer reminiscing about the good ‘ol days and then writing about it in this book.

It was very entertaining when Jake traveled back to the past. He had to make sure he dressed appropriately, “You can’t be caught dead without a tie.” As soon as Jake got to 1958 he had to buy a suit and tie and hat, “But not a baseball hat”. I just imagined everyone walking around like insurance salesman. Jake also caught himself before he attempted to use a 2002 coin in the pay phone but remembered what chain of events that could stir up. All the women wore dresses and people were so much friendlier back then. Until Jake saw the separate restrooms for black people that led to a board outside near water reminding him that not everything was better back then. Plus everyone smoked a lot of cigarettes back then. While he was being driven in a taxi Jake “unrolled my window to get away from the cigarette smog a little”.

I liked how the main character Jake joked about how he time traveled with King incorporating some author humor “Time travelers lie a lot” and “We’re going to take another leap forward in time (narratives also contain rabbit-holes, when you stop to think about it)” and “I am a Man Without a Time Frame” vs the American short story A Man Without a Country.

I didn’t think I would like this book because of the political references to JFK’s assassination. I thought this was going to be a propaganda piece about how much better America would be if JFK was not assassinated. I am glad this was not the case. Although you don’t really realize it to the end, this was about how it isn’t so easy to go back and change one thing, because in the process there are many other “strings” that get pulled that lead to many smaller changes that are all cumulative.

The supporting characters in this book were great. Al, Deke, Miz Mimi, Ellie, Mike Coslaw and of course the Yellow Card Man who isn’t who seems to be.

There was a portion of the book I did not like and that was the whole story or Lee and Marina. I did not care to know anything about these two and it didn’t really do anything to further the story. It wasn’t like Jake was watching them and planning out how he was going to stop Oswald from assassinating JFK so it served no purpose. I much preferred reading about Jake and Sadie and their relationship. Sadie was one amazing woman: so perceptive, smart, brave, and selfless.

When I head other people saying they cried at the ending I thought that was impossible. It turns out the ending was the best part of the book and you can’t help but get choked up. King did a fabulous job wrapping everything up. I didn’t see that ending coming and was extremely satisfied. It just makes you wonder the next time you meet somebody, “Have we met before?”

Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947, the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his parents separated when Stephen was a toddler, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of the elderly couple. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.

Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and then Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.

He and Tabitha Spruce married in January of 1971. He met Tabitha in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University of Maine at Orono, where they both worked as students. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.

Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many of these were later gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.

In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching high school English classes at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.(less)
