Publisher's Summary
What if you could go back in time and change the course of history? What if the watershed moment you could change was the JFK assassination? 11.22.63, the date that Kennedy was shot - unless....
King takes his protagonist Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, 2011, on a fascinating journey back to 1958 - from a world of mobile phones and iPods to a new world of Elvis and JFK, of Plymouth Fury cars and Lindy Hopping, 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.
With extraordinary imaginative power, King weaves the social, political and popular culture of his baby-boom American generation into a devastating exercise in escalating suspense.

Great Hunchthink, But….
The concept and narrative and narration is very well done, but I can’t help but feel that Sadie’s character, despite her youth, was too needy in the sexual department. It’s a distraction from a while well-balanced character, seems to be a pit-fall moment every time I hear a ham-fisted want for sexual pleasure. It’s too much like a bad romance novel.
Everything else is an an absolute “down the rabbit hole” exercise in time travel and engaging to make you think what you’d do in Jake’s shoes. I’d recommend it, but I wish King would have put aside this sort of character development more in the backseat and made it more about Jake/George’s mission.

Not a narration.... an audio performance!
My only criticism of this audio book - when I wasn't listening to it I couldn't stop thinking about it. And as I type this it is Craig Wasson's voice in my head reading these words back to me.
This book is classic Stephen King - he has that way of getting inside your head, anticipating what you are going to think, and being there with a reply. He takes a concept and makes it live, and makes you dwell on it, question it, wonder what would actually happen if...
Good audio books for me become an experience - the challenge for a narrator must be to make the story come alive, not just read the text, but life into the words. Craig Wasson's narration, his portrayal of the characters, was, for me, just the right balance - acting without overacting.
Loved it!

Brilliant
Wonderfully read. Stephen King's best work in years, the detail of this work is unparalleled. A little bloated in some areas, but definitely worth it. The book seems like King's ode to a simpler time...
