Sinossi
Jake Epping ha trentacinque anni, è professore di inglese al liceo di Lisbon Falls, nel Maine, e arrotonda lo stipendio insegnando anche alla scuola serale. Vive solo, ma ha parecchi amici sui quali contare, e il migliore è Al, che gestisce la tavola calda. È proprio lui a rivelare a Jake il segreto che cambierà il suo destino: il negozio in realtà è un passaggio spaziotemporale che conduce al 1958. Al coinvolge Jake in una missione folle - e follemente possibile: impedire l'assassinio di Kennedy. Comincia così la nuova esistenza di Jake nel mondo di Elvis, James Dean e JFK, delle automobili interminabili e del twist, dove convivono un'anima inquieta di nome Lee Harvey Oswald e la bella bibliotecaria Sadie Dunhill. Che diventa per Jake l'amore della vita. Una vita che sovverte tutte le regole del tempo conosciute. E forse anche quelle della Storia.

“We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.” I still fail to understand why Stephen King isn't considered a writer of "respected literature". Because he writes sci-fi and horror?

Hi, my name is Jake Epping and I’m a dull high school English teacher who has decided to go back in time to prevent JFK from being assassinated. I’ve decided to do this primarily because a fat man who serves me 53 year-old cheeseburgers (with whom I share only a vague casual acquaintance) has told m Leggi tutto

You may ask yourself how in the world did a wife beating, mental degenerate, and multiple country defecting (USA, RUSSIA and an attempt at Cuba) little shit like this kill the charismatic, handsome war hero, and most powerful man in the world. It doesn't make any sense. It never has made any s
Even though 11/22/63 has been swirling inside my brain for a little over a week now, I haven't had the chance to properly sit down and write out a coherent review. Life is busy, and yet I cannot shake the feeling of pleasure I received from reading this book. It is a masterpiece, no doubt, but also
Another big, big King book down! This was truly and epic tale. While I know every author has to do research to make sure that the book makes sense and doesn’t sound ridiculous, this had to be the most research King has ever had to put into a book. When discussing historical events and the potential i Leggi tutto
I'll be honest here. It's really rare that I get through a book over 500 pages, let alone 700 (Nook pages). It's also true that I have never read a single thing from Mr. King until now. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe his books intimidated me, because when I was younger everyone was always talking to me ab Leggi tutto
