About this listen
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!

Stephen King is a superb story teller
I loved his complete characters, down to detailed eccentricities. He brought them to life and made his story seem so real. I was gripped from the beginning to the end, held by his mastery of maintaining suspense.

Amazing
This book was the first in a very long time that I just couldn’t stop listening too. It was an absolute amazing purchase. If you’re looking for an incredibly engrossing story then look no further. Craig Wasson delivers a top notch performance as the narrator! Start to finish this novel is fantastic.

What can I say it's Steven King, it's a great book
I really, really enjoyed this novel.
Steven King just keeps getting better, he isn't like most writers who are "Book Mills" each book like the one before. Where each of King's stories are completely different from each other. I don't know if he ever wrote or co-wrote a book I disliked.
