5.0

Stephen King is notorious for writing horror novels, but this time around this novel isn’t so scary. Instead this is more intriguing. Jake Epping, he’s just a normal high school English teacher from 2011, when bam his world has been turned upside down. His friend Al has a job for him since he’s more fit to do so. He is to go back in time and stop the assassination of JFK. Time traveling back to 1958 he lives his life as George Amberson and for five years he plots how he’s going to stop it. In the end is saving the president worth it? This book painted a beautiful picture of how life was in the late 1950s early 60s. Though some parts were really long, and he beat around the bush when it actually came time to seeing if he would stop the assassination, it was a really good read. It felt like you yourself were time traveling with him.
