Stephen King - 11.22.63 [This is the UK version, I guess?]
This is seriously one of my favourite books ever written. This is the first time Mr King made me actually cry - and I’ve never since been crying over one of his books. Also - I’m very proud this is the only hardcover edition of any Stephen King book that I own!
It’s about a man who travels back in time to save John F. Kennedy from being shot. Stephen King basically tells the story of how this man lives in the 1950s (because that’s where the time loop starts). He gets a job there and eventually falls in love.
I just love the references Stephen King makes to his own work. You can see clearly that this story is intertwined with the town of Derry (you know, evil clowns and such) where the kids from his novel ‘It’ have an appearance. And it is so well written!
The end is just heartbreaking - and although I don’t usually enjoy romance - the parts that have romance in them are just great. Not too cheesy, not too romantic - they’re just right. I love it.
If you haven’t read this novel yet, you definitely should.
