11/22/63 A Novel Stephen King 8580001039299 Books

This is a really good novel, just short of a great one. King has created a fantastic and unique time travel mechanic, which really throws a different spin on what we usually run into in time travel stories, and even has a twist near the end that causes the reader along with the protagonist to change the way they had learned to look at things. The historical content is well-researched, immersive and detailed. King's protagonist is a relatable and interesting character, and many of the other characters are splendidly fleshed-out and memorable. Some Stephen King stories are definitely a skeleton, filled out with some tropes and an interesting or weird central theme. This one feels like he worked harder to create an extremely robust story.

Only one thing tempered my appreciation of this story, and that was its length. This book is huge! I started out reading it quite voraciously, and it speedily took off and went at a great pace. However, like the protagonist, who must wait several years to accomplish what he went to the past to do, I felt like I had to slog through a long period of life events, all of them good and many of them even electrifying, but the sheer bulk of time and events that passed between the beginning of the adventure and its end did wear on me. I actually put the book down for several months, although it was easy enough to pick it back up once an opportune camping trip gave me time to sit back and read, and I was once again hooked through the end. Honestly, I feel like any author less prolific and venerable than King would have been advised to cut a quarter of the book. Now, when I look at the content I would personally remove as extraneous, I realize that some characters and events which I quite enjoyed reading about would have to go, but I think it would still improve the novel overall.

I don't doubt that many bookworms, and Stephen King aficionados, would disagree with me about the book's length, and to them I say congratulations on having that much time and undivided attention for this book. I did enjoy it very much, would even say it captivated me with a spell the likes of which only King can dream up, but it was a serious venture to go from cover to cover. Very worth doing, however.

11/22/63 A Novel Stephen King 8580001039299 Books Reviews

I re ordered this book as I loaned mine to a "friend" who did not return it. I used to be a big fan of King but over the years I felt his talent was deteriorating. Being a big Kennedy fan, I ordered this book thinking I would probably read about 1/2 of it and put it away but once I started reading the book became hard to put down. I read the whole 800+ pages in 3 days.

The book arrived in excellent condition and arrived very quickly.
I could not put this book down! I'm surprised it lasted me 5 days. I didn't want to do anything but read!
Such detail. The characters become friends (some of them) and the era's are so believable. It's makes one year for the good old days. I could taste that frosty cold mug of root beer, and taste the hamburger.
The plot was so masterfully woven that I kept expecting a slip up, but that didn't happen.
I've always been a fan of Stephen King's work but this one takes the pound cake!
Such a great book. No King fan should pass this one up. My biggest complaint with King is that many times he leaves his endings open and vague. Some people love this. Not me. I want to know what happens! I don't want to guess. This one has an ending and it's satisfying. If you're watching the miniseries on TV, just know the book is 10 times better. And very different! Still loved the show, but I love the book more. It's a hefty one, but a total page-turner you can't put down. My history buff husband and son both read it after I told them how good it was and no one was disappointed. If you love history, intrigue and creepy supernatural time travelling stuff, you'll love this book! We purchased this used in good condition and it was in better shape than we expected. Plus, it shipped very quickly. Satisfied with the seller and the product.
If you found a window into the past, would you pass through it and try to right a wrong that happened in 1963? Would you consider what effect your actions, even the tiniest ones, would have on the future? That is what faced Jake Epping when he fell down the rabbit hole in his friend’s diner. He didn’t realize that what he was doing could have a negative effect on the future, and he didn’t anticipate how obdurate the past can be. The past doesn’t want to change, and the more you challenge it, the more it resists.

Stephen King does not race through a story, he strolls through it, reading all of the signposts along the way, making the times and the places come alive. In size and scope you could describe “11.22.63” as Michener-esc, but King’s work in the book has a sharper focus. It’s not about a region and its history. It is about a man and his struggles and pleasures in a framework of time, and the events, language, culture and music of the period. Sometimes you want to make the story move faster, but at the same time, you don’t want to miss a paragraph. I read this huge novel in just over a week, picking it up at every opportunity. I highly recommend it – to anyone who lived through that era, and anyone who wants to know more about a very special time in our history. Kudos to you, Mr. King.
This is my first Stephen King novel. I'll admit, I was pulled in when I saw there was a TV mini-series made; once I find out a movie or show was made from a book I have to read it first. So off to I went to order this mammoth of a book. Although it was a staggering 849 pages it was a fast read. There were few sluggish bits, but they were over as quick as they came. All in all a page-turner that I would rate in my top 5 favorite books, and I'm quite the avid reader. The characters were extremely well developed, and I found myself growing attached to them even more than I usually do. I know this isn't his usual genre, but I look forward to adding more books by Mr. King to my library.
