⚠️ TW: Domestic violence, childhood trauma, murder, racism, racial/xenophobic slurs, alcoholism, suicide ⚠️ Firstly, WOW. This book is absolutely phenomenal and I cannot sing its praises highly enough. It is very much my favourite book so far this year and it has become one of my favourite King reads 👏🏼 11.22.63 follows Jake Epping, an ordinary English teacher in 2011, who sets out on an insane time travelling mission to prevent the JFK assassination. However, as he leaves his world and time behind for the past of 1958 he encounters challenges, people and a new life he never thought he would. This read is witty, addictive, compelling, emotional, impeccably written and just absolutely mindblowing. Stephen King's writing in this book genuinely makes you feel like you are transported back in time and are witnessing everything right alongside the characters and I loved it so much and could rave about it all day but also feel as if it's hard to review without giving spoilers. I put this book off ever since it was first published because of its size and the political and historical sides of it but honestly it was such a page turning, suspenseful and emotion packed read that I couldn't put it down. Overall, I cannot rate this book highly enough and highly recommend reading it.
