11/22/63 by Stephen King

I read 11/22/63 many many years ago. I felt it was time to revisit it. This time I enjoyed it via audio. Can we just talk about how phenomenal the narrator is? I am not usually big on audio books but this time I was completely floored by it. It felt like a completely different experience. It felt more personal and as though I was witnessing it happening. I highly recommend going this route. 

11/22/63 follows Jake Epping. Jake is an english teacher who travels back in time in an attempt to stop the assassination of President Kennedy but like all good books it's about so much more. It's a love story but as you know love comes in many forms. It's about alternate time lines and multiverses (but in a good way). It's about friendships and humanity. 

King knows how to evoke emotions in a variety of ranges and made me nostalgic for a time period in which I did not exist. King's book is extraordinary and full of many memorable characters.
