I'm just reading this book, not finished yet. So far nothing special, very banal time traveller story. I've always respected Stephen King and his writing style. But this is ridiculous! Especially since he tries to imply in his novel that Oswald, as a lone nut, killed Kennedy on his own. That's utterly unbelievable. Without even taking a look at the details of Kennedy's assassination, one only has to watch the Zapruder film in slow motion to realize he was shot from FRONT, not BEHIND. Bullshit!
I'm a big fan of king but I think he's barking up the wrong tree on this one as far as Oswald being the lone gun man, it seems so ludicrous I won't be reading the book.
FUCK YOU STIFFEN THING! HE GOT A HOLD OF MY MANUSCRIPT "JFK ZOOLOGICAL HORROR" CHERRY PICK IT INFRINGED AND IS PLAGING IT THROUGH OUT THE PUBLIC TO CONCEAL ITS THEIR EVIL. BY THE WAY STIFFIN THING IS AN "REPTILIAN SHAPESHIFTER" SEE ON YOUTUBE.
I think with most long fiction (600+ pages), you hit some sections of the books, where people will say, "Man this is boring". In my opinion, like with most great stuff, the devil is in the details. Some people call it boring, I try to call it details. After reading, I realize that those details made it a much richer reading experience.
That old line 'people don't like to believe an individual could change history'. History is littered with them. People like to believe justice is always done and things work out in the end. Why ? because it is extremely comforting. To consider the possibility of a conspiracy is too disconcerting. We are constantly confronted with the difference between the truth and that which we want the truth to be.
@Trystin743 I agree exactly! . However its not entire true (i.e Carrie, Cujo, The Lone Walk, and the upcoming The Wind Through the Keyhole). If you're interviewer interviewing an author, the last thing you want to point out is the size of their book. It may make the difference of readers reading it or not readin it. And quite fankly, if your attention span is to short to read a big book. Just keep quite. It's says more about the reader than the author (who actually wrote it).
Just read the 1st 2 chapters. So far so very good. King seems to be at his best writing about the 50s. I wont spoil by saying why the 50s in a book about JFK assassination.
I found out what 11/22/63 means

@tatchip Totally agree. Stephen King is certainly an immersive type of writer.

@PunkersTV king is good at writing in older times than modern, under the dome wasn't bad but his stories set in older times are told out better
