Book Review of 11/22/63

11/22/63


Interesting historical fiction book by Stephen King about a man who goes back in time to try and stop the assassination of President Kennedy. The Good: It is well-researched and the reader really feels transported back to life in America in the late 1950s/early 1960s. I liked reading about George/Jake's life in Jodie, Texas and his romance with Sadie. King is a good storyteller. The Bad: At more than 800 pages, the novel is bloated. It could have been tighter, without any loss to the story.
