With me, it’s either black or white. There is no gray. In book lingo, that translates into either I love, love, love what I’m
currently reading, or I wouldn’t even stoop to use this volume as a doorstop.
This time it’s a homerun hit right out of the happy reading
ballpark.
11/22/63 is Stephen King’s back-in-time historical
thriller. I’m not a big Stephen Kind fan because he’s too, well, scary
for me.
But history, yep, I’m hooked.
The premise of
the book:
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President
Kennedy died, and the world changed.
What if you could change it back?
On the surface, one would think what a wonderful idea the preventing of a national tragedy.
But once our hero, Jake, begins dabbling in “fixing” what’s
wrong with the past, will it
create even worse unforeseen consequences?
Does Jake accomplish his mission and prevent the JFK
assassination? Does he spend the remainder of his life in prison?
Does he ever return to the present or spend his life in idyllic, small town Texas with his emotionally damaged
girlfriend Sadie?
This award-winning bestseller packs 849 pages of intrigue
and when I finished it, I still wanted more.
