11/22/63 by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't normally read Stephen King. I've only ever read one other book of his, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I read that one in one sitting, it was that compelling. This book is the same way, except that if you read it in one sitting you're going to need a catheter, because this book is a long. With that said, I knocked it out in three obsessive days of reading. If you want to read a book that is very difficult to put down, this is it.
I'm a huge fan of anything to do with time travel. I don't know why, I just think it's a cool concept. Mr. King tackles time travel in this story and the "rules" he creates for time travel are very interesting and lend themselves to a great story. This book was thoroughly enjoyable, even though it is somewhat predictable. Highly recommend it. It's not technical, It has decent characters. It raises some interesting questions, and you'll be fully invested in the ultimate outcome of the book when the plot reveals the final choices the character must make. It would make a fantastic cable TV series!!!!
