11.22.63 is, at its heart, a book all about the Kennedy assassination and Lee Harvey Oswald but, as you might expect from veteran author Stephen King, ends up becoming so much more. It is at once a love story, a book about consequences and the dangers of what-ifs and a book about a period of time in America's history that has now been ... Read the complete review

I've been a massive Stephen King fan for years, but his latest few have passed me by - I decided to remedy that by downloading a copy of 11.22.63 for my kindle, and found it such an engrossing story that I've had sleepless nights and was bitterly disappointed when I read the final page. High School teacher Jake Epping is an ... Read the complete review

11.22.63 is the latest novel by Stephen King and on the surface is a simple tale of what if? What if, you could return to America pre-Kennedy assassination and stop Lee Harvey Oswald shooting the president on Deeley Plaza on the 22nd of November 1963 hence the title of the book? So what if? What would be the consequences and ... Read the complete review

The subject matter of Stephen King's latest book - the alphabetically challenged 11.22.63 - should be immediately obvious to anyone with a passing familiarity with modern American History. The date will forever be notorious as the day President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. In the almost 40 years since, thousands ... Read the complete review

This is the first time I've had butterflies in my stomach prior to writing a review. The reason is obvious to anyone who reads my book reviews; I try to put a lot in them and also not to use the same approach as another reviewer. I'm also a huge fan of Stephen King's books and would support them even when he has one of his 'off' ... Read the complete review

I've been a huge fan of Stephen King's work for nearly 25 years now, even though I do find his novels a little hit and miss. Given that King's last novel, "Under the Dome" was pretty bad, but his one previous, "Duma Key", was one of the best he's ever written, I had high hopes for "11/22/63". This hope was ...

I received this book as a present from my partner who knows I have something of a Stephen King addiction. I remember reading last year about the books' impending release and finding the concept really intriguing, so when I unwrapped it on Christmas morning I couldn't wait to delve in! The basic plot of the book is that our ... Read the complete review

Introduction I've been a fan of the books of Stephen King for as a long as I can remember, when I made the transition from reading kids books to adult ones Stephen King was the first 'adult' author I read and I still remember the first book of his that I picked up, Salem's Lot. It's safe to say that I was hooked from the start ... Read the complete review
