When I received this audio ebook from Readers' Favorite I could not wait to hear it played. The best part is the ending which is something only the true Stephen King fan can enjoy! The only other novel I have read of his is “The Stand.” I have to say that this novel came close but “The Stand” is my favorite so far.
Of course I was born in the 1960’s where I remember all too well Lee Harvey Oswald and the Kennedy assassination which the media covered painstakingly over and over. I remember that day very clearly in my memory, as I watched it in my parents’ bedroom and as they were in shock explaining to me what happened in terms a child could comprehend. Stephen King writes well and has researched extensively to keep the facts real and the story flowing for the readers' attention.
The main character is Jake Epping, who travels through time which leads from 2011 Maine to 09/09/1958. You can visit the past for as long as you like--years even--but when you return to the present it is always exactly two minutes later. Every succeeding visit is a "reset." You can change the past (and consequently the present), but as Jake learns, "the past is inflexible."
With this portal to the past, Jake is set on a mission that would probably be the goal of almost every person of a certain age--to stop the Kennedy assassination. I don't think it resonates quite so strongly with those of us who weren't around to remember Camelot, but, surely "11/22/63" was one of the most memorable days in this nation's history.
