Book review: “11/22/63”: Stephen King writes about how a high school
teacher named Jake Epping in Maine who travels back in time to prevent
the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Jake’s favorite place to grab a piece
of pie is at the local soon-to-be-bought-out town diner of his best friend. The
owner of the diner/time machine is Al Templeton, who is running out of time
due to lung cancer.
After Al’s first conversation in a long time with Jake, he realizes that Jake
is the one who can prevent it. Al invites Jake to a free dinner to discuss
something important. Asking Jake if he trusts him, he sends Jake to the
diner’s pantry/time machine and says keep going all the way to the back of
the room. Jake thinks Al is crazy for this, but then he steps into 1958 at
11:58 a.m. and the great smell of sulfur arises.
Al then convinces the English teacher to go back in time and stop Lee
Harvey Oswald from shooting Kennedy. Having to stay in Lisbon Falls for
five years was going to be a long time and that had worried Jake, but Al then
mentions that whenever he steps into the “rabbit hole” only two minutes
pass in present time, no matter how long he stays there.
Jake going into the past soon realizes that knowing the future can either
help him or put him in danger. With romance and parts of the book that
make you move to the edge of your seat, this book is a slow start but once
you get going into the details it will hook you and you will not want to stop.
Will Jake be able to go through with this gigantic change to history? Read
this novel to find out! – by Kayla Grijalva.
