Cried for days, every time I thought of it.

I loved this book, particularly because of the ending. I like to think that perhaps Sadia and Jake became friends after the dance. I would have loved for Jake to stick around and over time fill Sadie in on their life in that different time, but I don't think SK had that in mind for them.

I've left it for a couple of weeks before reading the ending again. No where near emotional and could think about things a little better. Thanks for encouraging me to have another look.

I liked this book. It had been a while since I had read a King story so I really enjoyed coming back to familiar terrority. I enjoyed the idea of the cell signal turning the majority into zombies. One of my kids would sit in from of the tv with a lap top in her lap and a phone in her hand...

My first King book was 'The Shining'. I was around 15 and looking for something to read in my school library. I think I may have picked it up because I had heard something about the movie. It scared me witless, but I loved it. There were no other King books in the school library and my home town...

ok, thanks.

This is my first post and will contain spoilers. I was extremely surprised at my response to the ending of ‘11.22.63’. Never have I felt so emotional about two characters from a story, but I’ve cried for days afterwards whenever I thought about Jake and Sadie. I thought I was going crazy to...
