I have just finished 11/22/63, and the critics are right, it is fantastic. The whole story, the time travel the characters,the plot, all together are awesome.The main character Jake Epping is believable and like most people.But he is in an unusual situation.Reality's falling apart, and every time he goes, residue is left. But in the end the story has a lot to do with him, his life and the world. His own psychology is,as Stephen King usually does, is both complex yet believable.His own issues with his love life, society, personal quibbles,all only helped keep my interest.
I would love to read this story again and again. Stephen King has made a fantastic novel, that truly speaks to his great writing style. Anyone who reads this book, in my opinion will love it. Its characters, plot line, dialogue- while I'm being rather redundant you understand my point. This book, if you read it, will keep you hooked from beginning to end.
Your response to that giant book is seven sentences? I am glad that you like it. Work on making your responses more detailed and specific. What are the big ideas here that keep you thinking? What questions do you have or connections did you make?
ReplyDeleteI see some additional development here. But what I'm looking for is more than a review. Not just why is it good - how do you think about it while you are reading? I want you to be in conversation with the story and with the author. As I asked in the last post, what are the big ideas? What questions are you asking and connections are you making? What do you notice about King's approach as a writer? How does this connect to other things you've read about this historical period or about time travel or about reality. Push yourself. You can do this.
