Review of '11/22/63' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is not my review but my take on the novel.
Amazing story of time travel, goodness, love, victory, dedication, bravery and alternate history. King tries to show the reader how implausible time travel is, and that what we are is way better than what it could be.
I loved the way he portrayed Sadie, but the end where she is eighty years old and Jack Epping dances one last time is a classic romantic ending. I was happy he did it that way. Deke was a man in his sixties, the head master of DCHS(Donholm County High School) and Mizz Mimi was his lover. She had lung cancer and died after attempting an experimental cure in Mexico. Jack as George became more involved with reality that he ever was in his original persona.

Deke was a man in his sixties, the head master of DCHS(Donholm County High School) and Mizz Mimi was his lover. She had lung cancer and died after attempting an experimental cure in Mexico. Jack as George became more involved with reality that he ever was in his original persona.
The events leading up to the dreaded day, where he killed a father who would've massacred his family, and saved a girl who would've been a victim of a rogue bullet by a hunter made George Amberson fearless and lively. His days with Sadie, eating poundcake frequently and doing jamborees to collect money for her surgeries are heartwarming. Sadie's character was the best. Beautiful, charming, down to earth, funny and lively as George, she showed her bravery in attending the first jamboree without concealing her scar. This makes the reader believe she could be the character in the not so harmonious 2011 that Jake Epping meats and has the last dance. But I feel the best scene has to be the dance between George and Sadie during the jamboree dedicated to the reconstructive surgery for his student with Jake and Sadie dancing and the pie-throwing at the end with audience joining it. It was celebration of joy.
As ever is the case with Stephen King the celebration of joy of reading one of the finest writers today.
