I think the reader has to be a certain age to get into this book. King puts himself inside the Oswald family. He depicts Oswald’s mother as an abusive dictator. His descriptive account of real events are extremely accurate (I fact checked him).
That’s what I was trying to say lol when it happened we never left the tv for four days. When we saw Ruby murder Oswald on live tv (black and white) we were shocked for days.
It’s very good. I tried listening to the audio book, but the narrator read it sooooo slowly, I nearly went mad, so I bought the Kindle version and read it myself!
It’s about the Kennedy assassination written by Stephen King. King puts his characters back in the day giving IMO an excellent take on the people involved in that awful event.
I did. It is one of my favorites.
11-22-63? Lol. Yes. LOVED IT!
I did! It’s a great book!

I loved it. It’s a long one, like many of King’s, but it’s worth every bit of it, in my opinion.

@Phyllis mini series on Hulu
Great book, bit of time travel and obviously well written

@Phyllis it seems like yesterday doesn’t it ?
No. But it’s in my to read pile after the Bill Hodges trilogy and Revival.
Love Bill Hodges
He’s a great character. Brendan Gleeson played the character well in Mr. Mercedes, I thought.
Haven’t watched it yet but it’s on my list to watch
I really enjoyed it. I hadn’t gotten around to reading the book first so I’m powering through the rest of the trilogy now while I can.
I liked it!
Loved it. Started me off on my King reads
Very good book.
Reading it now and loving it so far

I would love to hear if you all liked it as much as I did.
That’s got to be my favorite book of all time by Stephen King! I would read it again, and I don’t even like to re-read books.
Literally just started it!!
Have read and reread this book – love it!
Deborah I got more from it each time I read it – it’s quite an intriguing book but then I’m biased I love Stephen King
Deborah I’m like that with Dr Sleep – it’s my go to book – love the main character so much I kind of miss him and need to reread it!
Really good!

Yes I did thought it was very good!
You’ve all convinced me.
Thank you all for your help – am reading it now !!

I tried but couldn’t get into it.
Loved it!
I enjoyed but didn’t love it like a lot of other people
It’s not for everybody.
Yes loved it!!
Loved it! Kept getting distracted looking up articles and pics of Kennedy and Oswald while reading though!
Me too ! The fact checking was interesting because he really researched the events well.
