(Thus, on one trip, he’s able to buy hamburger at cheap 1958 prices for his diner, bring it back, cook it, sell it and then return to 1958 and buy it again and bring it back again.)Īl gets the idea of staying in the past long enough to stop Lee Harvey Oswald from assassinating Kennedy. Everything that he changed on his previous trip is wiped away. The diner-owner also realizes that he’s able to carry stuff with him back and forth, and that, each time he returns to 1958, the past re-sets itself. And he has learned that, whenever he returns through the rabbit-hole, he’s back in 2011 just two minutes after his departure, no matter how many minutes, days or years he’s spent in the past.

And the stuff around the date of Oswald’s attempt on JFK was compelling as well.īut the novel sagged in the middle, and, after 11/22/63 in Dallas, the story sputtered and clanked its way to the final page. I zipped through the first 300 pages as Jake makes his first forays into the past and back. It’s an 849-page science-fiction novel, published in 2011, that is about a present-day guy, Jake Epping (aka George Amberson), and his attempt to go back in time to try to stop the assassination of John F. I lived with 11/22/63 for a couple weeks, and, most of the time, it was a real page-turner. So why am I disappointed - more than a bit - with 11/22/63?
