Coincidentally, I’m carrying on the theme of time travel with this week’s blog entry.
Last week I finished reading Stephen King’s 2016 novel, “11/22/63”. This is the date that US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
Stephen King’s stories usually fall under the ‘horror/fantasy’ category although this one is considered to be Sci/Fi and Alternate History.
Simply put the story is about a time traveller who attempts to stop the assassination of JFK. Of course, things are never that simple and the time traveller (who happens to be an English teacher!) soon begins to discover the ‘rules’ of time travel.
I won’t say anymore as I don’t want to spoil the story (which is very good, by the way!), but I will say that the book paints a very detailed life of America in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s which some of you may find interesting.
