Review: 11/22/63
5 stars.
Readers should be notified immediately that this isn’t your typical Stephen King book. King completely leaves his element of the frightening, dark appeal and takes us on a journey we’ve never experienced from him before. This book is out of character and not at all what would be expected from typical King. But even though it is not a horror novel, “11/22/63” is just as suspenseful as any other King book. It features Jake Epping, a GED professor who comes into contact with a diner owner who holds a secret: a time portal to 1958. Epping has several encounters along the way, but one of the main focuses of the story is his attempt to go back in time to 1963 to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The book also contains moments that make you think of other King works. The novel is an absolute page-turner and loaded with many twists. Even though this is not a horror novel, anyone who is into history, mystery and romance will want to read this book.
