11/22/63 by Stephen King

The second of The 10 Best Books of 2011 (The NY Times)
 
ON NOVEMBER 22, 1963, THREE SHOTS RANG OUT IN DALLAS, PRESIDENT KENNEDY DIED, AND THE WORLD CHANGED.WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE IT BACK? 
In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King—who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer—takes readers on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.
Throughout his career, King has explored fresh ways to blend the ordinary and the supernatural. His new novel imagines a time portal in a Maine diner that lets an English teacher go back to 1958 in an effort to stop Lee Harvey Oswald and — rewardingly for readers — also allows King to reflect on questions of memory, fate and free will as he richly evokes midcentury America. The past guards its secrets, this novel reminds us, and the horror behind the quotidian is time itself. (The NY Times)

Stephen King este genial. Ii ador cartile si felul de a scrie. Nici mie nu imi place horror-ul delooc, dar SK e prea tare, pentru mine cartile lui sunt o exceptie

Stephen King este o inspiratie si prin ceea ce scrie si prin propria viata(from zero to hero). Ma bucur mult ca va scrie o noua carte.
