Story
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Story
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

"Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades.

Publisher's Summary
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 listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.
It begins with Jake Epping, a 35-year-old English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching GED classes. He asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one essay blows him away: a gruesome, harrowing story about the night more than 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life - like Harry’s, like America’s in 1963 - turning on a dime.
Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession - to prevent the Kennedy assassination.
So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson, in a different world - of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of big American cars and sock hops and cigarette smoke everywhere. From the dank little city of Derry, Maine (where there’s Dunning business to conduct), to the warmhearted small town of Jodie, Texas, where Jake falls dangerously in love, every turn is leading, eventually of course, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, where the past becomes heart-stoppingly suspenseful - and where history might not be history anymore. Time-travel has never been so believable. Or so terrifying.

Craig Wasson increases the value!
This book already is a fantastic book; however, the narrator Craig Wasson, brings a lot to the table! He has a voice for every character and the accents are pretty great! For me there was barely a dull moment in this novel. Stephen King does an amazing job at fantasizing what could’ve happened and what it would take to stop Lee Harvey Oswald. Both novel and narration is truly great!

#Audible 1 review of 11.22.63 by Stephen King
This month, I ran out of credits and was facing about two weeks without having a book to listen to in my car. I decided to look through my library of almost 200 books to see if I would see something I would re-listen to which I had never done before. When I saw 11.22.63, I remembered how much I loved this book. Since I listened to it a long time ago I decided it would be the one to take me to my next credit. I enjoyed it just as much as the first time even though I remembered most of the storyline. Stephen King’s characters are so alive and real. I felt like I truly knew them and was visiting them once again. The characters were even more real because of the narrative perfection of Craig Wasson. Accents, genders, emotions, everything you’d want when listening to such an amazing story. It made me want to do something else I’ve never done before...choose a book based solely on the narrator. For anyone interested in an edge of your seat story involving time travel, romance and an exciting plot, get this book!

Another Good Story That Just Kind of Ends
This is a really good story line, and I enjoyed the performance as well, but as with many of Mr. King's epic stories, the ending is an odd choice. It is not as odd an ending as Under the Dome (that one still sticks in my head as just strange), and I like the sentiment of the ending, but something about it just doesn't feel like it went with the story. The reader did an excellent job with his dramatization of the story. I listened to this commuting to and from work and while the story is a bit daunting (in length and the scope) I enjoyed it overall.

Fantastic Story, AMAZING narration.
Very few books have had me gripped right from the start like this one did. While it did get a little slow in the middle, I can see how it sets up important events later in the book. I have read that some people are disappointed with the ending, but I see no other way it could have ended, and am personally happy with how it wrapped up. This was the first book I've listened to with Craig Wasson as a narrator, and he did an absolutely outstanding performance on this. It's right up there with the best that I've heard and he really captured emotions perfectly. This is very much worth a listen.

Captivating
I simply loved this book. It is well written with both a captivating & intriguing plot line. The characters are brought to life certainly through the dialogue & narrative style, but credit too must be given to the actual narrator of this novel, Craig Wasson, who infuses this provocative tale with even more oxygen to transport it to waft in the nooks & cranny’s of your imagination not only as you listen, but long after you’ve listened to this masterful intrigue.

Great! Boring. Good again... Boring. Too long.
This Audible book is broken into four parts. It's very captivating and interesting in the first part as we learn how the time travel option works. Then it gets boring for long stretches while our first person narrator describes his daily life. The funny thing is, even the main character starts spying on Lee Harvey Oswald, it's still boring.
It's very frustrating to see a writer set up a great premise, then have his characters behave like idiots. Still, I was interested enough to stick with it until the end.
The narrator did a great job with the text and characters he was given.

So long and not interesting
After the all the buzz I broke down and got this book, but oh how I regretted it. I had to force myself to finish this book. It's way too long with a lot of details that could have been omitted and still kept the integrity of the story. I wish more time had actually been spent on the assassination and the ending instead of some nonsense in the middle. The last chapters felt very rushed.

entirely average
Would you try another book from Stephen King and/or Craig Wasson?
perhaps
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
thankful
What aspect of Craig Wasson’s performance would you have changed?
not everything needs to be SO EMPHATIC!
Do you think 11-22-63 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
no.
Any additional comments?
if the book had been about 1/2 its length it might have been compelling. the basic idea is interesting, as is the general plot arc. but just way too wandering down so many uninteresting paths (like he had to prove that he had done lots of historical research).

Long and dull
Would you try another book from Stephen King and/or Craig Wasson?
I have enjoyed other S King books, but this one looks to me like the old man has grown too great to have any editors look over his shoulder and make any cuts. It just went on and on restating the same things over and over - meandering and getting to the climax so slowly, I could hardly believe it.
Has 11-22-63 turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Which character – as performed by Craig Wasson – was your favorite?
I enjoyed Mr Wasson's performance very much.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It was OK

Detail in Search of A Plot
This is one of those books that makes you wonder whether the author is editor-proof. It is slow without creating texture or character. The plot is a distant relative to the author's description of 1950's Maine. For the right reader, it is likely to be ideal.

This book faded like a bad racehorse…
When I first got into this book, I was very interested and tearing through it. However, as I plodded along it got slower and worse—then it was capped off with a terrible ending. The book is largely about a “rabbit hole” that leads to the past, however King’s rambling writing also leads the reader down countless rabbit holes that add nothing to the overall story and just make the book longer and more tedious. I was also frustrated throughout the book by the many pot shots that King takes at republicans and conservatives in general. I get that he is a proud liberal, but it comes across as juvenile and petty. The narration was excellent with a few exceptions. I have not heard this style of narration before where many of the characters take on imitated voices of actual actors. Most were good (very good in fact), however the FBI agent towards the end with the Jimmy Stewart voice was terrible. I had trouble listening to those parts which were critical to the entire story. This is my first reading of a King novel, I was hoping for “Shawshank”, but it turned out more like “Maximum Overdrive”.

Not sure it was the narrator but probably the story. It is hard to appreciate a narrator when you don't enjoy the story line.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment
Any additional comments?
I will carefully chose my next book!

This was over 20 hours of my life wasted.
What disappointed you about 11-22-63?
Too long and boring. When the speaker pretends to be a southern woman I kept thinking of Monty Python. The characters were false and unbelievable. It's trying to be a love story, after 14 hours I still wasn't convinced. I kept listening hoping it would get better but it only got worse.
Would you ever listen to anything by Stephen King again?
I used to be a fan. Not sure anymore.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Craig Wasson?
Different voices for different characters would make more sense.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No
Any additional comments?
Don't waste your time and money.

Yuck
Winding story that fizzed right after it started. Boring! Maybe my expectations were too high?
