Book Blurb
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. Unless…
In 2011, Jake Epping, an English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, sets out on an insane — and insanely possible — mission to prevent the Kennedy assassination.
Leaving behind a world of computers and mobile phones, he goes back to a time of big American cars and diners, of Lindy Hopping, the sound of Elvis, and the taste of root beer.
In this haunting world, Jake falls in love with Sadie, a beautiful high school librarian. And, as the ominous date of 11/22/63 approaches, he encounters a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald…
Why I Chose This Book
You know how sometimes you watch a show and you just can’t get it out of your head? That’s what happened to me when I saw 11/22/63 on Hulu, starring James Franco. I heard that the book is even better than the show, and that it has more details, twists, and surprises.
I’m super excited to read 11/22/63 by Stephen King, one of the most famous and prolific authors of our time. The book is about a guy who finds a portal to the past, and decides to use it to try to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Sounds cool, right? Well, it gets even cooler, because he also falls in love, makes friends, and faces some unexpected twists and turns along the way.
I can’t wait to dive into this epic adventure, and see how it compares to the show.
