Probably King's best book in the last decade - and I consider his recent output pretty good. 11/22/63 is a High Water Mark... if you haven't read any King for awhile, pick this up, then work your way backwards.

I should start by saying that I’ve read a handful of Stephen King’s stories, but nowhere near the entire collection. My previous experience was that I enjoyed his short stories and novellas more than the full blown novels. This made me somewhat hesitant to dive into an 850 page King novel, but in the end I was happy I did.
I can’t even imagine the amount of effort it took to structure a plot like this. For the most part, every question I thought of was eventually answered. (I will warn you that ...more

Possibly my new favorite King book. Quite unlike most of King's previous works, this story is historical fiction blended with a bit of thrill and sci-fi. The book is quite a page-turner and one you will have a hard time putting down as it builds steam heading to the finish.

This was the first Stephen King book that I have ever read. I do enjoy his writing style, however, I'm going to avoid the scarier stuff like Pet Cemetery. 11/22/63 is about time travel, and changing the past by trying to have JFK survive the assassination attempt. What I like most about this book is the fact that it makes you think about it later - what would our world be like if JFK had survived (all scenarios) and even what would happen if we could have had one "watershed" moment in our person

Not exactly a huge Stephen King fan, I like most have read a few of his books. Over all it was a good read, but I found parts of it to be too long and overdrawn. I especially liked the last hundred or so pages of alternative history....
I really liked this book. I've actually never read Stephen King before, as I'm not into horror, but history and time travel are right up my alley. The twists and turns were interesting, and I really enjoyed the characters.
