Product Information

Obdurate. ob·du·rate adjective: stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action. King uses this word over a dozen times in the book to describe how the past does not want to change and makes it difficult for our hero to save the day. This kind of unleveling of the playing field is first rate King and his almost personification of time is one of the elements of this story that makes it so appealing. ** Coincidentally, I made a similar observation about Kennedy’s book Profiles in Courage where he repeatedly uses the word vituperative. I highly recommend this book. Seriously, you won't regret reading this. The story along with the characters will make you love, laugh and hate with a vengeance. I was crying at the end and the tension had me on the edge of my seat. Edit - Actually, I realized later on that even this doesn't make sense since the Cowboys and Texans were both formed in 1960. It was part of the rivalry between the NFL and old AFL. This was a big story in Dallas at the time and both teams did tons of promotions and advertising so it doesn't seem possible that Jake was somehow unaware of the existence of the Cowboys.) Calvario, Liz (16 April 2016). " '11.22.63' Sequel Series: Stephen King Reveals Potential Plans For Another Jake Epping Adventure". Summing up here: You’re an English teacher who was talked into trying to stop the JFK assassination via a time portal. You’ve spent years of your life doing this even though there’s clearly some very wonky elements to the resetting of the past when you go through and time itself seems to be working against you? And this seems like a good idea, Jake?”

El viaje en el tiempo es importante, pero lo verdaderamente brillante es la construcción de la trama. Seguramente hay algún pequeño error porque con tanto viajar al pasado siempre hay paradojas que no cuadran, pero yo no me he dado cuenta. Oh you think I'm going to believe that?" I raised my eyebrows in a hauty sceptical manner. "I just read a book about time travel. It's that one there – " I gestured to the fat wedge on the table between us. "In fact I was just about to review it."I'm not usually the type to keep up with a television series week to week, but after watching the first episode of 11.22.63, I was absolutely hooked. The one season, Hulu mini-series drops a big "what if" in the premiere, and then proceeds to answer it in the remaining seven episodes. "If you could alter the outcome of one major event in history, which would it be?" It begins with Jake Epping, a thirty-five-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 fifty 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. A parte de relatos, es la PRIMERA novela que leo de Stephen King. Sí, sí, sí, supongo que alguien se estará poniendo las manos en la cabeza, pero bueno, así está la cosa. A mi no me gusta el terror y, aunque sé que no todo lo que escribe King es terror, sí que es una parte importante de su trabajo.

Thankfully I watched the limited series adaptation before the allegations revealed about Franco. So I was able to watch it without fantasizing to punch the actor who plays the main character! Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life—like Harry’s, like America’s in 1963—turning on a dime.

And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. That doesn’t sound….right. Jake, are you sure about this? I’m getting very nervous that you’re going to wipe me out of existence or something.” Petski, Denise (April 24, 2015). "Brooklyn Sudano Cast In 11/22/63 On Hulu". Deadline Hollywood .
