11/22/63 review Stephen King

        I usually I like about every other Stephen King book starting with Carrie[1974] which was just OK .Salem's lot1975] loved it.Rage [1977] yuk,Then came The Shining which i thought was the best book ever written,The dead zone ,The long walk, Fire starter,Cujo, were all very average books,I liked Roadwork, but then The dark tower series started I  loved all of them, so you get the point,I am a Stephen King Fan At times.
11/23/63 is a time travel book like, back to the future,only it is a tunnel, in a sparsely visited restaurant instead of a car.One thing I love about this book is right off the top Stephen gives you the time tunnel rules.You walk into the back room of this restaurant look at the light,keep walking till there's nothing under your feet.When you get there it will always be Sept 9 [,1958 At 11:58 am ] No matter how long you stay 1 day or 10 years when your back only 2 minutes will of passed.If you go more than 1 time every thing you did the time before will be erased.This made the book easy to understand putting it right up front,so you know rules.
Jake Epping is the teacher who goes back in time to save Kennedy and change the world.Jake tails Oswald for years getting to know him trying to figure out if he did it ,if it was a conspiracy basically trying to solve history.He cannot kill Oswald till he was 100 percent sure he did it.In saving Kennedy it would save Martin Luther king,Bobby Kennedy and stop the race riots and the Vietnam war.Or would it can history be changed,will it bounce right back like it in a track and can not be derailed. These are the questions Jake must answer to himself before he changes time.
King does a great job in making this science fiction seem real.Of course Jake falls in love ,which complicates things.This book is a great what if history lesson,and a great story by a writer who can be genius at times ,or so far out you question his sanity.This book is the brilliant Stephen King, Writing a book about questions we all have asked over the years,it is by far the best book he ever wrote out of many great and average books.This one brings him back to genius in my eyes.It is a must read your a fool if you pass it up.Down load it on your new nook I pad or it comes a thousand ways hard cover soft cover you name it.
