11.22.63: Stephen King

Product Information

We wanted to be absolutely sure he was acting alone, but then Al got really sick and knew he wouldn’t be able to stop Oswald. It's a beautiful relationship the two have and the love story holds the whole book together, in my opinion.

For an experience of recent history that feels immersive and real (1970, complete with sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll), try Drop City, by TC Boyle.Mimi Corcoran Simmons ("Miz Mimi") The DCHS librarian who is Deke's girlfriend and briefly becomes his second wife, until her death from cancer. He does the butterfly effect trope creating ripples throughout time and improves on this by making time fight back, the past in 11/22/63 does not want to be changed. He is rarely poetic or descriptive in ways that give any deeper meaning or even paint a vivid picture. Clearly he is immensely talented, and a good number of his other works are amongst my favorite novels of all time, but there is something unique to this historical time-traveling fiction that keeps blinking in my peripheral, almost like a jealous lover, keeping me from fully enjoying any book that I have picked up since finishing this one.

For someone prone to US history, there could be obvious or hidden innuendos, easter eggs, and goodies regarding the whole big, political global strategy real time and life game. I will fuck up several times, but that is no problem because I have no life and therefore I will simply go back in time again and repeat the experience until I get things right.And yet even though there is no plausible reason whatsoever for this to be the case, I will nonetheless accept it as true and simply go back a-fucking-GAIN just to undo what I spent 800 pages doing.

She is killed in the confrontation at the Texas Book Depository, but comes back to life once Jake "resets" the timeline by going through the portal. The whole first section which seems, at first, to be a twenty-fifth anniversary tribute to one of King’s most divisive novels?He lives in 2011 and he finds a strange time-hole that goes to 1958 and he has to live life in the past before he can stop Lee. As you probably guessed from the not-too-spoiler-sensitive title, 11/22/63 is a book about time travel. The review aggregate site Metacritic judged 30 out of 36 reviews as positive, with four mixed and two negative. Jake goes back to the past, and is told by the Green Card Man that every trip causes another "string", an alternate reality with a different past and different future.

is a novel by American author Stephen King about a time traveler who attempts to prevent the assassination of United States President John F.

Also, while I enjoyed the rabbit hole and reset the timeline rules, I thought the idea that you could bring objects back but they’d still exist in the reset past as a cheat and the kind of internal inconsistency that King allows in his work whenever it’s convenient to the story. I started this when I was thirty-five, and if I go back, only two minutes will have passed in 2011, but I’ll still be forty. How would neuropsychiatry and pharmacology explain the origin of his creativity under the influence of at least 3 to 6 substances that all, already as single consumption, have massive impacts on thought quality and imagination? I think what happened was that I loved the concept when I read about the book and had envisioned something more. The number on the back page does say 849 pages, but King's writing style makes reading this book effortless.
