I read it on Kindle and had no idea how long it was. I loved connecting with that time period because I was in college in 1963. Turns out my favorite books are long - Gone with the Wind, and Atlas Shrugged.
I heard a lot of people DNF this book after the first 100 pages or so. I’m hoping to start this book soon. It will be my third King book I will read. I want to read the book before I see the series on Hulu. My fiancé picked out the book for me to get with a gift card to Barnes and Nobles I got for Christmas last year. He knows I’m obsessed with JFK and also trying to start my own Stephen King book collection.
I finished reading 11/22/63 yesterday and I guess I liked it more than you did, although I think you did a very good job of explaining what you didn't enjoy about it. I agree that there were sections in the middle of the novel where not that much was happening. There was a lot of talent show fundraisers going on with the high school kids! I have always been a bit intrigued by the whole Oswald/lone gunman conspiracy thing, so I enjoyed reading to see King's viewpoint on it. He made Marina Oswald a sympathetic character I thought. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the book!
This book would have definitely caught my eye in a book store. However,. like you. I'm more interested in all the possibilities that suround what happened. Who may have influenced Oswald and Ruby. And the way the intelligence community, and the country reacted to it all. As for a fictional book based on it. I think Stephen King is capable of much better than that. Thanks for the review!! 👍

I have no idea how you ended up in my feed but since I have no life I guess I'll have to read a book.

I loved that book!
This review was not very good. It's almost like you didn't read the book very well. Loads of things bugged him from the past...
