On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? The author's new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination. In this novel that is a tribute to a simpler era, he sweeps readers back in time to another moment, a real life moment, when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history. Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students, a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night fifty years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk. Not much later, Jake's friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane, and insanely possible, mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake's new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life, a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.… (mais)

My first Stephen King and definitely not my last! The 734 pages simply flew past as I devoured the stories within stories, ‘reset’ stories and the world of Lee Harvey Oswald.

English teacher Jake Epping leaves Lisbon Falls, Maine 2011 behind to travel back in time to Tuesday September 9th 1958 via a rabbit hole in Al’s diner. Assuming the identity of George T Amberson he’s on a mission to change the course of history and prevent the assassination of John F Kennedy where Al had failed.

The vivid descriptions of the cars, music, fashions, folk and their vernacular conjured up Fifties/Sixties America perfectly - albeit through a haze of cigarette smoke!

The opening bars of “In the Mood”, the Lisbon High production of “Of Mice and Men” and Jake’s love affair with Sadie Underhill had me welling up while the Derry massacre, mentally deranged John Clayton and the mob added anticipated horror, menace and gore.

Stephen King’s extensive research truly pays off in bringing the undercurrents of Texas in 1963 and events preceding the assassination to life.

Immersive, moving, shocking.
Suspense, conspiracy, intrigue.
Loved it!

“A truly compulsive, addictive novel … The master storyteller in truly masterful form”. ( )

Top tier ending!! The last 100 or so pages were phenomenal. I never expected Jake and Sadie's relationship to elicit such emotion out of me. The character development in this book is incredible as well. I expected the book to focus more on the time-travel and JFK element, but the true thrill were the people and relationships (Jake, Sadie, Deke, Ellie, Silent Mike, Marina/June/Lee, Yellow/Orchard/Orange/Black card man, etc.).

Not your typical Stephen King horror story, but so worthwhile. Hints of suspense and little moments that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, and a really compelling story. Honestly there were some moments in the middle where the story slowed down but the whole thing came together in the ending that made me realize how invested I had become in the characters and their relationships. One of those books I wish I could go back in time and enjoy again. ( )

I'm not the biggest fan of Stephen King, but you can't go wrong with a good time-travel story. In another author's hands, a novel about going back in time to stop JFK being assassinated might be a bit cliché, but King has that storytelling knack and makes the tale fresh. However, I was a bit disappointed that he didn't play even slightly with any of the conspiracy theories, just for the twisty fun of it – in 11.22.63, King plays it pretty much straight, i.e. that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

In fact, the surprising thing about 11.22.63 is that much of it isn't about the Kennedy assassination at all. One of the main drawbacks, in my opinion, about Stephen King is his indulgence; there's scarcely a novel of his that could not readily be cut in half by a ruthless editor, and that's true of the 750-page 11.22.63 also. The first 300 pages or so see the protagonist, Jake Epping, test cause-and-effect by going back and stopping an unrelated murder from happening, and only then addressing Dallas. Jake stalks Oswald (and this sticks close to fact, being very well-researched) and the book remains gripping, even if we do end up – due in no small part to that tangent in the first 300 pages – a bit impatient to get to that all-important date of the book's title. And despite the length and indulgence, we know very little about how the time-travel works (you just walk into a closet and then, boom). I also found the final act a bit hasty, with Jake's foiling of Oswald clumsy in spite of the lengthy planning (and the jeopardy caused by the mob beatdown and subsequent amnesia being a bit hackneyed). King's brief vision of an apocalyptic, earthquake-riddled future (i.e. the present day) in a world where Kennedy was indeed saved, seemed to me very silly and overblown.

King's indulgence, however, is also the book's charm as well as its failing. We are fully immersed in the world of 1958 to 1963 that Jake steps back into; first as the low-hanging fruit of nostalgia but then increasingly just due to the richness of it as presented by King. He doesn't shy away from the dark undercurrent of those years, particularly with the society's treatment of women and minorities, but he doesn't get on his soapbox either. Rather, he shows us Jake living in this world, and falling in love, and pretty soon you're reading the book for that and not for the assassination. Jake's relationship with Sadie is endearing, and the final ending (after that disappointing hastiness and apocalyptic narm) is quite moving. A lean time-travel thriller about stopping the JFK assassination might have been more exciting and crowd-pleasing in the short-term, but it is King's textured early-Sixties world and sweet Jake/Sadie relationship which really pays off in the long-term and makes the book continue to shine.

The story was okay and somewhat exciting, but was not what I expected. I did appreciate the basic notion about the trouble of changing the past, which differed from the usual time-travel talk, but it wasn't profound. ( )

It all adds up to one of the best time-travel stories since H. G. Wells. King has captured something wonderful. Could it be the bottomlessness of reality? The closer you get to history, the more mysterious it becomes. He has written a deeply romantic and pessimistic book. It’s romantic about the real possibility of love, and pessimistic about everything else.

It is virtually not assimilable to our reason that a small lonely man felled a giant in the midst of his limousines, his legions, his throng, and his security. If such a nonentity destroyed the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, then a world of disproportion engulfs us, and we live in a universe that is absurd.
