Although the pacing in The Rabbit Hole, the show’s first episode, feels perhaps just a little off, this can be put down to its feature-length runtime and the desire to get Jake off on his travels. With episode two, The Kill Floor, the pared-down length and previously-developed groundwork mesh well to create a taut, mesmerising episode and 11.22.63 really finds its feet. With every character interaction and each frame of film slowly simmering towards a tense finale, The Kill Floor is a great piece of television and augers well for the show’s remaining six episodes. a b c d e f g h Alter, Alexandra (October 28, 2011).

Perplexed by what was going on, Al decides to let Jake experience what he wanted to tell him and instructs Jake to take a step further into a portal, and Jake does. Soon, Jake finds himself in a Lisbon Falls older than the one he knew; this makes Jake realize he was in the past. I did it! I finally read my first Stephen King novel (many followed after I wrote this review). I changed my mind many times regarding which should be the chosen novel with whom to lose my Stephen King virginity. I first chose The Stand, then the Dark Tower, Under the Dome also passed my “to read” shelf. I am content that I settled for this one but there might have been a better choice.Lovett, Jamie (February 12, 2015). "James Franco To Star In Stephen King's 11/22/63 On Hulu". comicbook.com . Retrieved February 12, 2015. The story of ’11/22/63′begins with Jake Epping, a divorced Lisbon Falls high school English teacher teaching a GED class to adult students.

Rereading my enthusiastic thoughts from a decade ago almost makes me feel like a time traveller myself. Many things have changed since then, but my sincere love for this book remains the same. It’s still wonderful, still so well-written and engaging, and I am thankful to King for being able to bring me that happiness that reading a good book can give you. Don’t cry. I’m sorry. It’s just…. This doesn’t seem like it was thought through very well, Jake. I mean, you seem like a nice guy. I’ll admit that it sounds like you have good intentions, but you know what the road to hell is paved with.” It doesn't make any sense. It never has made any sense. Oswald just does not fit the profile for a guy that could pull off an assassination of this magnitude. He's a semi-educated hillbilly, but he's surprisingly crafty." Yeah. See there was this lightning strike and now I can use my time mower to visit the past and …. Wait a second. If you’re from 1963, how did you know what a laptop is? Oh, shit! You’re a time traveler, too?” This is now one of my Top 5 Favorite Stephen King novels. I really think it's a masterpiece and he is at the top of his game here. I wish I had read it sooner, but I got it now. Also, I got my tome in this year, barely. It also makes me wonder how many more masterpieces Stephen has in him. He seems to have one or more a decade. I guess 45 years of writing daily does pay off in a big way. I also have a harmonic resonance with Stephen and his work. I was born in 1974 and he published Carrie in 1974. I find that interesting.

James Franco film set crashed by meth-toting man on motorized bike". CBC News. June 18, 2015 . Retrieved February 10, 2016. If you also had a chance to time travel, would you try to save JFK from the patsy or the real killer’s bullets ( in this book: patsy is the killer) in expanse the change of the entire time line like Jake Epping did in this story ? An English teacher who is questioning the reason behind cheap price of delicious meat, realizes there’s portal opens to 1958 and the owner of the store can visit there to buy cheaper products in expanse of deteriorating health conditions! Yeap, mastermind of extra ordinary stories did it again! I wish there would be real time portal for buying cheaper gas for my car right now!

There are a lot of bells and whistles in this story and its draw is Lee Oswald and the shooting of JFK. Yet, this story is really a love story. King doesn't write many love stories, but at heart, this book is a love story between Jake Epping/George Amberson and Sadie Dunhill. It's a beautiful relationship the two have and the love story holds the whole book together, in my opinion. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life—like Harry’s, like America’s in 1963—turning on a dime. Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. I've thought about this book off and on the last few months since I read it. I've changed my mind and rating.Pardon me for using this moth-eaten cliche, but Stephen King is like good wine - his writing gets better and better as he ages. Some may consider The Stand his masterpiece (to his dismay - who wants to think he's already reached the peak of his writing career three decades ago???), but I think this book along with “IT” may be it. "Is there any phrase more ominous than you need to see exactly what you’ve done? I couldn’t think of one offhand."----------------------------- Come in and see, that something seemed to whisper in my head. Never mind all the rest of it, Jake—come in and see. Come in and visit. Time doesn’t matter in here; in here, time just floats away. You know you want to, you know you’re curious. Maybe it’s even another rabbit-hole. Another portal. Ya think? I really wish you would have thought this through more than just doing a couple of test runs. You should have done that like twenty times. It would have taken you just forty minutes, right?” King placed a Japanese proverb at the front of the book and also used it so wonderfully in the plot. Every time I read it I find a smile on my face. There was also a limited edition of 700 published in the United Kingdom. It was a slipcased hardcover with deluxe binding, photographic endpapers, and a facsimile signature, and included a DVD. [21] Plot [ edit ]
