A review by jaxyway
11/22/1963 by Stephen King
5.0
Stephen King will probably never win the Nobel Prize for literature, but he should.
Stephen King once said that he cannot write love stories, but he can. Oh, he can.
This is the first King novel I have read in my adult life. As a child (yes, child) and teenager, I loved King’s works. No other author can creep you out the way King can, and in the next paragraph, have you laughing your ass off. So, after at least a ten year hiatus from reading anything written by Stephen King, 11/22/63 blew my mind.
Highly recommended.

“Life turns on a dime. Sometimes towards us, but more often it spins away, flirting and flashing as it goes: so long, honey, it was good while it lasted, wasn’t it?”
“Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke and a story's just a story.”
“We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why. Not until the future eats the present, anyway. We know when it's too late.”
“Sometimes a man and a woman reach a crossroads and linger there, reluctant to take either way, knowing the wrong choice will mean the end... and knowing there’s so much worth saving.”
