Product Information
Stephen King's #1 bestselling time-travel novel--now a limited series on Hulu starring James Franco! On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King--who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer--takes readers on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it. It begins with Jake Epping, a thirty-five-year-old English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching GED classes. He asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one essay blows him away--a gruesome, harrowing story about the night more than fifty years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life--like Harry's, like America's in 1963--turning on a dime. Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession--to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake's new life as George Amberson, in a different world of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of big American cars and sock hops and cigarette smoke everywhere. From the dank little city of Derry, Maine (where there's Dunning business to conduct), to the warmhearted small town of Jodie, Texas, where Jake falls dangerously in love, every turn is leading eventually, of course, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, where the past becomes heart-stoppingly suspenseful, and where history might not be history anymore. Time-travel has never been so believable. Or so terrifying.Product Identifiers

Better than the tv show....no....really....
Good book with a great ending. Both of my children loved it. They raced each other until it was finished. It made an exciting movie / tv night after they read it because now they get to talk about how the show is completely different than the actual book which was far better than the show.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best book ever!
King's best and superior to his other novels. It may possibly appeal more to the older generation because of the many references to the 50's and 60's culture, food and customs. That's one of the reasons that I liked it so much.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of Stephen King's best works.
This book is fantastic. Engaging the whole way through, which is saying a lot for how big the book is. There's no filler at all. Everything has a purpose. The characters are great and so is the plot.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of my favorite books from SK.
This book is one of my favorites. It's not scary but is very suspense filled. Kennedy was President when I was less than 1 year old. I've always had interest in his Presidency The book took King 10 years to research and it was worth it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fascinating Journey.
Fascinating Journey. A very interesting "what if" about the JFK assignation. There is also a mini-series from the book. BUT, read the book first.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Gotta Read this one!
This book is soo cool. It deals with String Theory and how things could be or could have been depending on different options made regarding JFK's death. I couldn't put it down.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
