 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another Thursday Theorist and before we get started Guess what this week is? The Outsider comes out in two days. I'm shooting this on a Sunday It comes out in two days on a Tuesday So I'm looking forward to it. You guys looking forward to it I hope so if you're here you probably are leave all your excitement down there and doobie doob But anyways, so yeah, this is something a friend of mine sent me this is book page from I guess books a million But today we are talking about this mammoth mammoth mofo 11 22 63 the book the king wrote about the assassination of JFK Kind of so the whole story the premise is dude goes back in time. I always forget dude's name What's his name? What's his name Jake epping goes back in time To try and stop the assassination of Stephen King and try to stop Lee Harvey Oswald from Shooting the man during the parade in Dallas I love the beginning of this book and I love the end of this book I don't care too much for all this stuff in the middle that has to do with Sadie I just don't care The whole the whole point for me. I don't think Stephen King writes believable or even affecting romance He never has for me that that's just my opinion then again I don't like romance and the mushy wishy-washy reason for that is because there is no greater love story than the one That I am living so I don't need to read about other people's happiness in their relationships because I'm very happy in mine. Anyhoo But this book is great in spots and those spots are One of the tie-ins to the dark tower is the pop-up of Richie and Bev From the Losers Club from it That was a substantial cameo and I appreciated that a whole bunch And of course because we run into those two we visit Derry once again That is enough to tie it into the dark tower universe, but there's a little bit more also There's he brings up the theme that he touched upon not touched upon There's a in fact most of insomnia is about it the colors coming off of people and the strings that the little bulb doctors snip is brought up again in this one and This one puts it right on the path of the beam for the stand which is odd because in Let's see here. I think I think it's wizarding glass But when the Cotet ends up popping up they're walking through a parking lot And somebody notices a to Kuro spirit a car named a to Kuro spirit in wizarding glass That car also that type of car that doesn't actually exist in our reality pops up in this one So you have that also So I'm wondering if what King is saying is maybe but Jake screwing up time and everything maybe this was a point back in 63 when Everything split off and maybe this is the same reality where the stand happens. I don't know any new but the King did this is one of those books that caches all the checks it writes at the beginning I went into this book hoping that we would get the spoiler alert spoilers spoilers spoilers I Was hoping that we would get the ending that we got which is seeing what the world or seeing a fictional version Of course because nobody knows Seeing that world where JFK hadn't been assassinated and that one really He really nailed that another another and that's probably my favorite part of the book if I'm honest But one of the biggest problems with this book other than the romance and the reason why I always end up giving it three stars Whenever I read it is because once again, we are stuck with the same old abusive Husband boyfriend character, whatever you want to call him Sadie's ex King falls back on that so many times I would say that almost every single one of his books has that character to some degree either that character is In the book as a main character or King uses that as like a backstory for somebody who's strong And that's like that's one of one of his biggest fallbacks, and I don't care too much for that But other than that the book is good, and I know it's a very unpopular opinion When people see me with my three-star review, but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it So did I miss anything? Would you like to add down there in the comments below anything that I might have missed that leave anything out? Did you like the book? Did you not not like the book? Did you like the adaptation? I me and my wife have yet to finish it We might finish it one day, but I don't care too much for James Franco And they changed some things in there that I didn't care for so I never finished it But until next time I have been a you've and you it's been another Thursday theorist review I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
