Concluding thoughts.

[CoachVail]

I've never been a huge fan of yours, Mr. King, although I certainly loved Shawshank when I read it and, of course, the movie was great. I just finished 11/22/63 and I want to thank you. It was one of the best books I've read, and I read more than ANYONE I know. You had me up late, unable to put it down, on the edge of my seat, with my heart pounding. I guess I've been guilty of assuming all your suspense was horror, bloody, etc., but this was freaking awesome. I CARED about Jake and Sadie (and Deke and Harry and ..........) because you made me care. I have always been fascinated by the idea of time travel, fate, destinies linked, etc. and you did a wonderful job of making it work, making it scary, making it real. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I don't have the eloquence to explain, but thank you.

Or to the The Magnificent Ambersons, the 1918 novel by Booth Tarkington which won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize or its Orson Welles-directed 1942 film version?

just finished reading this last month. like i was blown away by the conclusion of the novel. Jake Epping had to go back again in 1958 to fix the wrong he had done

[Jack Torrance Floats]

i just finished this one as well. Really, really good book, bittersweet but perfect ending. i loved the travel to see Mr Dunning (each time) and the description of America (and the world) if Kennedy had lived.

New to the forum, so i hope to bounce idea about this one and others off the regulars.

It blew me away. It was the longest novel that I've ever read, but certainly the best ever. What's great about the story, all the characters, time periods, and the length of the novel,
is that (I'm in my sixties so . . .) two years from now I'll be able to read it again---for the first time. :-)
