11/22/63 by Stephen
King
When Al finds a portal to 1958 in his diner, he talks Jake
Epping, a local English teacher, into
going on a mission back in time to stop the assassination of JFK from
happening. But they find you really can't change the past without drastically
changing the future.
I'm not usually a reader of Stephen King novels, mostly
because he creeps me out. But I actually really enjoyed this book. I loved how
King made references throughout to some of his other books (IT, Shawshank
Redemption, The Body, etc.) and how I really didn't know what was going to
happen next. It was also interesting to know that King spent over a decade
researching the JFK assassination for this book. 11/22/63 is a little long, but
well worth the 700 pages or so.
I give it a B+.
