First Edition Release Date: November, 2011

Synopsis:

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 50 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.

I have always enjoyed Stephen's work. But I have to say that 11/22/63 was one of my favorites. The characters were so well-drawn that I really felt that I knew them. I actually missed them after I finished the book. Just great!

What a wonderful read that was. The characters are still very real to me and I want to know what happens next with Jake and Sadie. Stephen has the gift of creating a complete person from a few lines - the housekeeper who saves the day on the Number 3 bus surely deserves a book to herself. This is a book shouting out to be made into a film. Well done, Mr King, you left me in tears thinking about what might have been and whether changing the past is worth the loss of those present/future friends and lovers.

I truly enjoyed the subtle references to other books written by Stephen King in this book - notably It and Cujo. How could you misspell Caroline Kennedy's name, though? :-)
