I absolutely loved the main characters – the way I can only love King characters. Boy, how I was wrong!! I heard so many people say that 11.22.63 is one of their all time favourite books and after reading it, I totally understand that. I’m not really that interested in the presidential history of the US, and it didn’t really sound like a King story to me. To be honest: this book wasn’t exactly high on my King TBR. The course of history is about to be rewritten…and become heart-stoppingly suspenseful. But all turns in the road lead to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald. How? By stepping through a portal in the diner’s storeroom, and into the era of Ike and Elvis, of big American cars, sock hops, and cigarette smoke… Finding himself in warmhearted Jodie, Texas, Jake begins a new life. Jake is blown away…but an even more bizarre secret comes to light when Jake’s friend Al, owner of the local diner, enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession-to prevent the Kennedy assassination. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning: fifty years ago, Harry somehow survived his father’s sledgehammer slaughter of his entire family. Life can turn on a dime-or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine.
