As a general rule, I don't do 850-page books. Not only are they anathema to my obsessive-compulsive/damn-I-want-to-finish-this-book-right-now tendencies, but they're so physically big that you can barely get a grip on them while you're lying in bed. (That's what she said.)Stephen King's latest masterpiece is quite the exception, however.
At its core, 11/22/63: A Novel is about a 30-something high school English teacher who travels back in time in order to stop the Kennedy assassination... but the story itself is about so much more. Think Back to the Future meets JFK with a sprinkle of Lost. (And for true King aficionados, there's literally an It cameo weaved into the narrative.)
Truly one of the best books I have ever read... go buy it!
