No way! I’m from 2011, too. My name is George Amberson. I mean, it’s really Jake Epping. Amberson is the alias I’m using here in the past.”

Greene, Andy (February 8, 2016). "How Hulu Brought Stephen King's '11.22.63' to TV". Rolling Stone. You do not need me to educate you this, however, due to the fact that it stays in overview’s summary. Although the pacing in The Rabbit Hole, the show’s first episode, feels perhaps just a little off, this can be put down to its feature-length runtime and the desire to get Jake off on his travels. With episode two, The Kill Floor, the pared-down length and previously-developed groundwork mesh well to create a taut, mesmerising episode and 11.22.63 really finds its feet. With every character interaction and each frame of film slowly simmering towards a tense finale, The Kill Floor is a great piece of television and augers well for the show’s remaining six episodes. Stephen King's 11/22/63 – Limited Edition Available Online at 10:30 AM on November 10th 2011". Stephenking.com. 2011 . Retrieved November 10, 2011. also stars two of my all-time favourite King characters - Jake and Sadie. I fell in love with Sadie as Jake did. Sadie is brave, headstrong, resilient, and given her past, her outlook on life is inspiring. As for Jake, some of the decisions he makes (without giving away any spoilers) proves that he is simply a good man. To take on such an arduous task, spanning years of your life, is admirable. And with these two amazing characters, King writes his greatest love story. It is beautiful and heartfelt and REAL. It shook me to my core.This one should've been five stars for me. I think what happened was that I loved the concept when I read about the book and had envisioned something more. The story King wanted to write was all there and I truly enjoyed it. As always with King this is a great study in character and the evolution of the character. In this case using time as an added conflict that applies pressure on the character. King doesn't mess around with elaborate explanations on how or why the time travel works. It's just a simple closet in the diner that the character steps into and we're off and running. I think this works mostly because we trust King so implicitly and that if he says it true it's true. Hey, you just appeared out of nowhere! How did you do that? And is that a laptop melted onto a lawn mower?” Rereading my enthusiastic thoughts from a decade ago almost makes me feel like a time traveller myself. Many things have changed since then, but my sincere love for this book remains the same. It’s still wonderful, still so well-written and engaging, and I am thankful to King for being able to bring me that happiness that reading a good book can give you. I had just sat down to begin this review on my laptop when the doorbell went. I wasn't expecting anyone. It was probably going to be one of those pitiful door to door salesmen trying to get me to buy a dishcloth for a fiver. They make me feel so bad. But it wasn't. I opened the door and looked at myself. It was me. Two years later, in June 2011, Jake stops by a local diner and speaks with the proprietor, Al, who asks Jake to meet him at his diner the next day.

At least we agree on that. But are you sure you should be changing stuff in the past? That seems really dangerous and could cause all kinds of paradoxes. I just wander around and look at stuff, I don’t try to change anything. You don’t want to end up killing your own grandfather, do you? Or worse yet, accidentally become your own grandfather. Yuk!” Jake begins plotting a way to get rid of Oswald, the president’s killer. He travels to Jodie, Texas, where he meets Sadie, a librarian in an abusive relationship. After saving her life from her husband, Jake and Sadie fall in love, and soon he tells her he is from the future. Jake also fulfills Al’s wishes of saving a girl from being shot by a hunter.

Summing up here: You’re an English teacher who was talked into trying to stop the JFK assassination via a time portal. You’ve spent years of your life doing this even though there’s clearly some very wonky elements to the resetting of the past when you go through and time itself seems to be working against you? And this seems like a good idea, Jake?” Perfectly cast and cleverly directed, 11.22.63 is the show of the year, and it would be getting the true attention that it deserves if it weren't for Hulu's monopoly on its release. Mooch off your friend, use your dad's credit card, or do whatever else you can to get access to a Hulu Plus account, because this series is worth all the effort. I told you, I was an English teacher, not history. I don’t really know much more than what I remember from my classes in college. I’ve got Al’s notes…” Best Books of 2011". The New York Times.

Pardon me for using this moth-eaten cliche, but Stephen King is like good wine - his writing gets better and better as he ages. Some may consider The Stand his masterpiece (to his dismay - who wants to think he's already reached the peak of his writing career three decades ago???), but I think this book along with “IT” may be it. "Is there any phrase more ominous than you need to see exactly what you’ve done? I couldn’t think of one offhand."----------------------------- The theme of this book is 'the past harmonizes' and Stephen drives this point home to good effect. It becomes it's own harmonic in the book and it helps to bring all the stories going on together. I'm telling you, this is a layered masterpiece from one of the most gifted writers of our time. He weaves historical fact with fiction with historical fiction with time travel with a love story for the ages.Jake decides to move according to the plan and try to save the president, he also tries to save Harry’s family from being killed, but he soon discovers that changing time has consequences of equal value as changing past events.
