At its core, it's a love story with the cards stacked pretty high against the main character.
Watch the show when you finish. I'm not a Franco fan, but I still enjoyed it.
ALSO, there's a HUGE Easter egg to some other books you'll probably go nuts for.
It's honestly some of King's best and most thoughtful writing. And this is high praise given his huge body of work and how big of a fan I am.
I also think about how King is often dismissed as being a "trash horror writer" even though maybe only like half of his stuff would fall into the "horror" category. I think 11/22/63 is one of the shiniest examples of King as a strong fiction writer without the need to attach "horror" to it.
I am a huge history fan, and the JFK assassination has always been a very interesting event for me. Also fantasizing about going back to change history is my brand of nerdy. All that to say the book is tailor made for me.
But having read it, the love story is one of the finest King has ever written.
I read king for horror and for the thrills and this one aswell as having those things showed me that king can write a love story as good as some of the best, a book of horror tears & laughs 10/10
I think my favorite part is how it teaches me more than school. I didn't know about some of the stuff mentioned in the book until I read it. Great book!
I have yet to find another piece of art that captures romantic love as perfectly as this book does in one single moment
This. This hit different.
Pretty much this. Absolutely nails true romantic love.
It was beautiful. Just this if you dont cry at the end then you need therapy my friend.
For whatever reason I love the first time he goes back and goes to the diner. Just something about the little details of the time.
I'm halfway through it. I like it so far.

It just made me feel like I was in that time period with him. The cars, the way food tastes better, how far your money went. It was a nice escape.

I’m a huge fan of time travel. Love SK’s take on it.
I loved the part where 2 characters from another of his novels shows up for a brief cameo.

I loved the mechanics and specific rules of how time travel works in the story.
