About this listen

 WHAT IF you could go back in time and change the course of history? WHAT IF the watershed moment you could change was the JFK assassination? 11/22/63, the date that Kennedy was shot - unless . . .

King takes his protagonist Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, 2011, on a fascinating journey back to 1958 - from a world of mobile phones and iPods to a new world of Elvis and JFK, of Plymouth Fury cars and Lindy Hopping, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life - a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

With extraordinary imaginative power, King weaves the social, political and popular culture of his baby-boom American generation into a devastating exercise in escalating suspense.

Critic reviews

“This new epic from Stephen King rates among the best he’s written – no small praise for the man who wrote Carrie, It, The Stand and Under the Dome.” ( Trucking News)

Best book i have listened to since The Woodcutter, totally gripped by it.I did not want this book to end. The narration was excellent which is always a bonus!
I have never read or listened to a Stephen King book before...i think i will have to see what else is on offer by Mr King.

Excellent book

HavIng spent my 50's childhood in a small town south of Dallas, I really related to the entire story. The characters were so well presented and real that when the book was finished, I actually missed them! I have read or listened to, every time travel book I can find but this book really scratched the itch. It is as good as anything Finney has written and better than most others. You don't need a big imagination for it to become real. It is written as to be entirely plausible and you actually wonder if it might just have happened. This is all a part of the King's genius. Long write the King!

I have just finished listening to this and in my humble opinion the is the best book Stephen King has ever written. It is certainly the best audio version of his work, and again, in my opinion the best audio book I have ever listened to. The story gripped me from the start and didn't let up all the way through. I loved the section set in Derry and loved seeing two of the main characters and some of the locations from IT again.
The characters are very well written, you really care what happens to them.

The narration by Craig Wasson is amazing, he should get some sort of award for this, it really is that good.

If Stephen King can keep this quality output coming I will be very happy, Even better if Craig Wasson narrates future titles!

To sum it all up, Best Audiobook Ever!

Stephen King's best?

I've never read nor listened to Stephen King and never wanted to as I associated him with Horror which is definitely not my thing! I bought this book based, really, on the couple of minutes sample - and it is superb! I cannot remember when I was last so riveted by a book. No reservations - download it!

Fantastic read - I really didn't want this book to end. Great characters, good storyline & it wasn't all about JFK.

Brilliant......
