A review by exorcismemily
11/22/63 by Stephen King

5.0

"Love is a uniquely portable magic. I don't think it's in the stars, but I do believe that blood calls to blood and mind calls to mind and heart to heart."

This was my third attempt to read 11/22/63, and I finally succeeded! I haven't tried in 3 or 4 years, though, so I guess I just needed time. I did this as a buddy read with some friends on Instagram, and I am so grateful to them for doing this with me.

My main issue with why I couldn't complete this book before is because the beginning is not very exciting. I still agree with that. However, everything that happens after makes it worth it.

This is different than a lot of King novels, and I was really impressed with the amount of research that went into this story. It was so detailed, which is why it's so long.

The ending may have been a bit predictable, but I think everything wrapped up nicely. This ending could have been a shitshow, but everything balanced out well.

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to try this book again - Sadie, Mindi, Jo, etc. Y'all were right 😂. 11/22/63 is a great story.
