Boston Globe's Ethan Gilsdorf has an interesting review of 11.22.63. I also like the drawings by Anthony Russo.
Gilsdorf starts with a bang, saying, "Time travel is tricky. Problem number one: You probably don’t have a time machine parked in your garage." Of course, rabbit holes are helpful. He gives King credit for doing his "homework."
I really like this line: "The Texas School Book Depository, where Oswald erects his sniper perch, emanates red-hot historical radiation."
The full review is HERE.
Quoth the review:
ReplyDelete"In “The Dead Zone,’’ the clairvoyant protagonist shoots the president to avert nuclear Armageddon."
Nope. That's not how that book played out. Stillson was merely a candidate, not the President (although he was destined to become the president according to Johnny's visions). Also, Johnny didn't shoot him; he shot AT him, but missed.
Still, it's good to see the positive reviews are continuing to roll in!
