About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

“This new epic from Stephen King rates among the best he’s written – no small praise for the man who wrote Carrie, It, The Stand and Under the Dome.” ( Trucking News)

Most relevant

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.
