11/22/63 is a novel by Stephen King about a time traveler who attempts to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy which occurred on November 22, 1963 (the date of the novel's title). The novel was announced on the author's official site on March 2, 2011.[1] A short excerpt was released online on June 1, 2011,[2] and another excerpt was published in the October 28, 2011 issue of Entertainment Weekly[3] The novel was published on November 8, 2011,[4] and quickly became a number-one bestseller. It stayed on the list for an additional seventeen weeks. 11/22/63 won the 2011 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Best Mystery/Thriller and the 2012 International Thriller Writers Award for Best Novel,[5][6] and was nominated for the 2012 British Fantasy Award for Best Novel[7] and the 2012 Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel.[8]
The novel required deep research to accurately portray the late 1950s and early 1960s.[9] King commented on the amount of research it required, saying "I've never tried to write anything like this before. It was really strange at first, like breaking in a new pair of shoes."[9] The novel's time-travel premise marks it as science fiction, specifically the alternative history subgenre, although the extensive period research undertaken by King, dealing with real-life events and people between 1958 and 1963, gives it a strong feeling of historical fiction.
前半部还成,后半部太啰嗦了。。 摘外国读者的搞笑吐槽: I'm a reluctant fan of Stephen King. But this book was terrible. The main guy is a teacher. EVERY POSSIBLE CLICHE ABOUT TEACHERS is in this book. As in: 1. Meticulously correcting oral grammar 2. Ca...

此图摘自Goodreads某高赞书评,评者称:这三幅图抵得上三千个字: Chapter 13 The stage was a beachhead of light. Beyond it was a lake of darkness where the audience sat. 两位Steve(老金和Neal Stephenson)的写作有个共同点,说得好听点就是“极繁主义”(maximalism...

Unnecessarily long and uncomfortably depressing. 因为对 time travel 有兴趣才读的,事实证明一个有点意思的简单概念无法撑起这样一本厚书。

第一次看完这样大部头的英文小说。打四星,完全是因为个人英文水准有限,有些细节都没太看懂。比如lindy hop到底怎样跳的,一片茫然,在网上看看视频,才恍然。

哇哦 不敢相信竟然读了3个月。书真的很荒谬,一开始和第二次时间旅行的那部分挺无趣。荒谬在于让我觉得这个屌丝英语老师既自私,又愚蠢(虽然他“作案”和扯淡的时候都想得挺周密的)。爱情部分还可以,但也没少俗套和煽情。对于JFK刺杀事件无兴趣的人可以不用读了,很浪费时间。
