You guys. This e book was WILD. I listened to the audio model and the narrator was implausible. I beloved the completely different voices for characters and actually introduced life to this Butterfly Effect-ish story. The premise of the e book is {that a} man named Jake Epping is tasked with utilizing a portal to return in time to cease the assassination of JFK. In the method, he additionally desires to avoid wasting and alter the life of somebody he is aware of. Jake learns the ramifications of altering the previous, along with attempting to determine if he desires to return to the current day in any respect.
I’ve by no means learn something by Stephen King earlier than, since I sometimes keep away from *scary* or grotesque books. This e book was intense, and a few elements had been arduous for me to take heed to, however I can see why Stephen King is so common lol. My solely drawback with this one is that’s it LONG. The man is wordy. He most likely may have ditched about 200 pages within the center. At the identical time, the character growth is so deep, and I nonetheless discover myself fascinated with it (particularly the ending!). I’d give it a 9/10. I wish to watch the sequence on Hulu now, too!
From Amazon:
On November 22, 1963, three pictures rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world modified. What for those who may change it again?
In this brilliantly conceived tour de pressure, Stephen King – who has absorbed the social, political, and common tradition of his technology extra imaginatively and totally than every other author – takes listeners on an unbelievable journey into the previous and the opportunity of altering it.
It begins with Jake Epping, a 35-year-old English instructor in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes more money educating GED courses. He asks his college students to jot down about an occasion that modified their lives, and one essay blows him away: a grotesque, harrowing story concerning the night time greater than 50 years in the past when Harry Dunning’s father got here residence and killed his mom, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed second for Jake, his life – like Harry’s, like America’s in 1963 – turning on a dime.
Not a lot later his good friend Al, who owns the native diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the previous, a selected day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has turn into his obsession – to forestall the Kennedy assassination.
So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson, in a distinct world – of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of huge American automobiles and sock hops and cigarette smoke all over the place. From the dank little metropolis of Derry, Maine (the place there’s Dunning enterprise to conduct), to the warmhearted small city of Jodie, Texas, the place Jake falls dangerously in love, each flip is main, ultimately in fact, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, the place the previous turns into heart-stoppingly suspenseful – and the place historical past may not be historical past anymore. Time-travel has by no means been so plausible. Or so terrifying.
