What sets this book apart from other similar time-traveling stories is just how incredibly visual 1960s America becomes in the reader’s mind. Stephen King, once again, works his magic in a way few writers can match. 11/22/63 has a way of pulling you into its grip right from the first few pages. Helped by the beautiful librarian, Sadi Dunhill, Jake finds himself caught on a one-way track to a future he could never have imagined. Jake quickly learns that changing things in the past is not as easy as first thought since time itself has a way of pushing back. Unprepared for the consequences of manipulating events, things go from bad to worse as events start to divert from their predetermined path. When Jake is offered the opportunity to go back in time and change the past, he finds himself on a collision course with one of history’s most infamous assassins, Lee Harvey Oswald. On the precipice of an adventure that will take him back to the very heart and soul of the early 1960s America. It’s not every day you find yourself standing at the entrance to a time tunnel but, that is exactly where Jake Epping finds himself.
