Carina Braun Ms. Breuer – 8 Book Review 18 October 2012 11/22/63 by Stephen King I have always loved Stephen King and his disturbing ways of writing. After reading 11/22/63, I was amazed at all the different types of writing he is capable of. I first fell in love with Stephen King’s ways after watching the movie It and later reading the book.

Kennedy and his unfortunate assassination. However, after 50 years why are we still questionable to of who is actually responsible for his death. For me personally the charge against Lee Harvey Oswald doesn’t cut it for me.

On January 20, 1961, John F. Kennedy gave one of the most memorable speeches when he gave his inaugural address.
