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.

Kritikerstimmen

The reader feels the benefit of 40 years of narrative craftsmanship and reflection on his nation's history. Going backwards proves to be another step forward for the most remarkable storyteller in modern American literature.
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. But it takes great skill to make this story even remotely credible. Mr. King makes it all look easy, which is surely his book's fanciest trick.
Stephen King at his epic, pedal-to-metal best
not just an accomplished time-travel yarn but an action-heavy meditation on chance, choice and fate.
The details of Fifties America, the cars, the clothes, the food, the televisions with wonky horizontal hold, are so vivid that you begin to wonder whether the author himself hasn't had access to a time machine.
...But as you worry at the paradoxes and the brilliantly explained pseudo science there is no denying that this monster yearn is blindingly impressive. Manly writers run out of steam as they get older. King, though, writes books that are ever longer and more demanding. I can't wait to see what he will tackle next.
Stephen King's new novel, 11.22.63, combines a variety of genres, being a JFK assassination, a story of time travel, a variation on the grail quest, a novel of voyeurism, a love story, a historical novel, a counter-factual historical novel and the chilling tale of a sinister animate universe, a form which can be traced back to the ghost stories of MR James.
The master of the pen has written yet another extraordinary novel.
Fine stories to take with us into the night.
America's greatest living novelist.
A wonderful book: page-turningly exciting, witty, wise, melancholic. But also utterly human, profoundly decent
Take King's hand and allow him to lead you into a past so vibrant and complete that you can almost taste it. But hold on tight, the Master of Horror has now become the Master of Time . . . Utterly enthralling, emotional and magical
King's gift of storytelling is unrivalled. His ferocious imagination is unlimited.
'King's most purely entertaining novel in years . . . utterly compelling.'
'Staggeringly addictive.'
'Tight and energetic from start to finish.'
'The pedal is indeed to the metal.'
Delivers a lot of praise and enjoy. The story comes off the blocks with almost alarming speed ... he tells a story like a pro .... 11.22.63 kept me up all night.
Stephen King at his epic, pedal-to-metal best
Not just an accomplished time-travel yarn but an action-heavy meditation on chance, choice and fate.
Perhaps only seasoned storyteller Stephen King could accomplish changing the course of history in his vast time-travelling masterpiece whilst effortlessly weaving political and social details with abundant humour. King's intriguing new story structure will surely catapult the author to another best-seller.

Great story with lots of historical trivia and facts mixed in with it to give it and the characters an 'real' feal to it. Its long but never boring.

Great!

Spannende, genau recherchierte, stellenweise jedoch etwas langatmige Geschichte mit tollem Sprecher! Eher was für Hobbyhistoriker als für Sci-Fi Fans.

Spannender, aber etwas langatmiger Historienroman

Früher war ich ein großer Fan von Stephen King; "It" war mein erstes Buch und ich find's immer noch gut. Dann hat mein Interesse etwas nachgelassen - aber von diesem Buch bin ich wieder uneingeschränkt begeistert. Die Ermordung Kennedys zu verhindern per Zeitreise, wobei jeder neue Gang zurück ein Reset der bereits geänderten Ereignisse bedeutet. Die Beschreibung der amerikanischen Gesellschaft in den späten 50er-, frühen 60er-Jahren; ein Wiedersehen mit Derry und Bevy und Ritchie aus "It" (wenn auch nur am Rand). Es ist spannend und rührend, brilliant geschrieben und fesselnd vorgelesen. Auch das Ende ist passend - was nicht ganz einfach ist mit Zeitreisegeschichten! Ich kann das Buch nur empfehlen!

Wow!

Eines der besten Bücher, die ich seit langem gehört habe. Unbedingt lesen/hören
Spannend bis zum Schluss.

Auch der Sprecher ist genial. Er bringt die unterschiedlichen Charaktere wunderbar zum Ausdruck und man sieht sie förmlich vor sich.

Spannend bis zum Schluss

Someone must have said about stephen king once that "he could find the epic in the ordinary and make you see it too" - at least I seem to remember someone did.

This story is touching, because you almost believe YOU yourself could have stumbled down those steps, and ended up with a resposibility so huge, the mind boggles (as the british say, I know I am sounding geeky, here, but bear with me.

One constantly find oneself drawn in and think "what would I have done?" "has he thought of this and that?" - like a detective story, or a mystery were you're supposed to figure out what happens next.

In short, I enjoyed this greatly and although I had to repeatedly ask myself while reading how something so far fetched could properly end, the author surprised and pleased me even on that account.

So, I sincerely recommend this! (There, and I think I did even without blurbing any spoilers...)

An unbelievable story, believably told
