11.22.63: Stephen King

Product Information

Before she can ask about that I slip my arm around her waist. She slips hers around mine, still looking up at me. The lights skate across her cheeks and shine in her eyes. We clasp hands, fingers folding together naturally, and for me the years fall away like a coat that’s too heavy and too tight. In that moment, I hope on thing above all others: that she was not too busy to find at least one good man … Life turns on a dime. Sometimes towards us, but more often it spins away, flirting and flashing as it goes: so long, honey, it was good while it lasted, wasn’t it?” Grossman, Lev (November 2, 2011). "Book Review: Lev Grossman on Stephen King's 11/22/63". Time . Retrieved November 13, 2011. Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Franco does a great job as Jake, both more relatable and better looking than in his usual roles as a hangdog stoner or militant hipster something-or-other. Thanks to flawless art direction, the period details – the clothing, cars, hair, houseware – are as lush as Mad Men’s. The past is absolutely gorgeous, until Jake starts messing around with it. Got it? Al has been using this portal for years to attempt to stop the assassination of John F Kennedy on 22 November 1963, the date in the title, sometimes staying in the past two or three years at a clip before returning to the present two minutes later. Based on a book by Stephen King and executive-produced by JJ Abrams, this is the ultimate baby boomer liberal fantasy. If the assassination of JFK could be stopped, the thinking goes, then Vietnam would be prevented and all the subsequent fallout and disasters that have come to pass since that date could be averted.Not as good as the book but its a quality show, there is some violence, drinking, smoking but the protagonist is a good role model.
