As the date of the Kennedy assassination approaches, Jake gambles on a boxing match and wins, gaining the attention of local businessman Akiva Roth, who goes to Jake's house in Dallas with two associates and has them beat Jake nearly to death. As a result, Jake loses his memories of Lee Harvey Oswald and spends weeks in the hospital and in a rehabilitation center. After remembering Al's notebook, he retrieves it and forms a plan to kill Oswald in the Texas School Book Depository on the day of the assassination. He writes a letter to Sadie asking her not to try to find him for her safety. Sadie nevertheless finds him in Fort Worth and the two of them attempt to make it to Dallas in time. Along the way, they experience a bus accident and two car accidents, which Jake explains as the past trying to stop them. They arrive at the Depository just in time and Jake successfully prevents Oswald from shooting Kennedy. Secret Service members shoot Oswald dead, but not before Oswald shoots Sadie in the process; she dies in Jake's arms. Stephen King's '11/22/63' his best in a decade". Lvrj.com. December 23, 2011 .

Randall from Australia Immersion is something that a book can rarely lay claim to truly possessing. It is rare in the sense that so many other things- be it pacing, characters, language, setting, and relatability (to name a few)- all factor into its success. This book though is one of those rare examples. With King it is usually hit or miss with me but there is no denying that this book is the work of a master storyteller. 11/22/63 is not just a book but is also a fully fleshed-out experience that itself acts as a portal to the past. It biggest selling point (much like IT) lies King's ability to form a connection to the reader emotionally which is strengthened by the sense of nostalgia that he always seems to deliver with such a seemless accuracy.

Al has been using this portal for years to attempt to stop the assassination of John F Kennedy on 22 November 1963, the date in the title, sometimes staying in the past two or three years at a clip before returning to the present two minutes later.

If the assassination of JFK could be stopped, the thinking goes, then Vietnam would be prevented and all the subsequent fallout and disasters that have come to pass since that date could be averted. With his mission a success, Jake becomes a hero instantly. Jake, however, decides to re-enter the portal and redo everything to ensure Sadie lives. He begins discovering the consequence of his action as a massive earthquake occurs, leaving thousands of people dead. CarolineC (May 7, 2012). "British Fantasy Awards shortlist announced".
