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)

Absolutely fantastic epic.

Stunning detail, characters and environments. Fantastic intertwining of fact and fiction, superbly narrated by Craig Wasson.

Most stories involving anything to do with time travel in any way, invariably have a shockingly poor ending. Not so here. Really well tied up and well, read the book (or listen).

Bad side: You'll probably want to put normal life on hold whilst listening to this.

Gripping. Superb.

this book is well written & very well read. i found myself willing the characters not to take a particular course of action, do activity. the thorny issue of time travel paradoxes were dealt with very well and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. more please!

absolutely excellent

This audiobook has gripped me from the very start. I'm a big fan of Stephen anyway, but his ability to draw you into the characters in this novel has been present from the outset. You very quickly put the premise of a time travelling school teacher to one side, and will him to maintain his relationship with Sadie and remain in the sixties timeline forever.

I have just finished listening to 11.22.63 and it was simply, the best narrated book I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. This is also the best Stephen King ever, bar-none. The story is a mixture of well researched history, fantasy and ironically a love story that you get drawn in to without even knowing it. I was gutted when the story ended and I think I will go back and listen to it again, it is that good.
If there was an Audio book Oscar, then it would undoubtably go to the narrator Craig Wasson, whose vocalisation and visulation of the book is the equivalent of a Turner masterpiece.

I could waffle forever but I would be stopping you from downloading this epic masterpiece. If you are thinking of becoming an audible member, then make this your first book and you will never look back.

THE BEST AUDIO BOOK EVER!!!
