5/5 Stars (%90/100)
First of all, I have to inform you that I've watched the miniseries before reading the book. I absolutely loved the show and plan to rewatch it since I finished the book. Since this is not about the show I am not going to go into detail but I could not help myself but compare the two. I loved the book and even if I did not watch the show I would still like it, I'm sure. However, there were some parts where King goes into extreme detail and I found those parts a bit boring and it quickly became tedious after a while. I also should tell you that this is my first book from King. I've read a lot about him and I even read some parts from his book but I never finished one because they are all very very long. Yet, 11.22.63 made me love almost every part of it, I was hyped from beginning till the end even though I knew what was going to happen.
Even though the book starts as a time travel sci-fi novel, it quickly turns into mystery/thriller genre together with historical fiction. The characters are the most important thing in the novel and King wants you to make sure of that. (He talks about the same thing more or less in interviews) I loved Jake and whenever I was reading his dialogues I did it with James Franco's voice. I also liked Sadie's character more in the novel because we learn much more about her compared to the show. I don't want to go into fangirl mode but this book is definitely brilliant.
