Stephen King’s creativity lights a dark day in Dallas

Readers will be reminded of the suspenseful tension of King's horror tales. But 11/22/63 is no nightmare. It is not typical Stephen King. It is extraordinary Stephen King.

King epic takes on time travel

How often does a writer set forth his theory of craft and then demonstrate it, too, all in the same novel? "11/22/63" starts with a grand and mammoth premise — a time-traveling avenger is bent on rescuing humanity — but in the end, it's all pretty simple: Love saves the world, time and time again.

Stephen King Goes to the Rescue of JFK

It all adds up to one of the best time-travel stories since H. G. Wells. King has captured something wonderful. Could it be the bottomlessness of reality?

It’s romantic about the real possibility of love, and pessimistic about everything else.

We are reminded again that in Stephen King, we have proof that (as JFK himself once put it) “life is unfair.” He is not only as famous and wealthy a writer as any of his time; his work suggests that if a time traveler found a portal to the 22nd ­century and looked for the authors of today still being read tomorrow, Stephen King would be one of them.

In Stephen King's '11/22/63,' a time traveler tries to save JFK in Dallas

The pages of "11/22/63" fly by, filled with immediacy, pathos and suspense. It takes great brazenness to go anywhere near this subject matter. And it takes great skill to make this story even remotely credible. King makes it all look easy, which is surely his book's fanciest trick.
