Book Review: 11/22/63

*****
11/22/63
By Stephen King
    

I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and that earns it 5 stars in my book.  There were times when I couldn't put it down and it's a real testament to the quality of writing when I say I never felt the weight of it's 800+ pages.  At it's core this was a strong character driven story.  Yes there was time travel, yes he was working to save JFK, but mostly it was the story of Jake/George.  In the afterword, King gives a special thanks to my favorite author Jack Finney.  It's very clear from the get-go that this book was fashioned in the Finney style. For me, that just made it that much better.  I loved this.
