![]() ![]() One of the big differences is that in the book the portal goes back in time to 1958 and in the show it goes back to 1960. Now, the first episode of 11.22.63 kept to the book pretty closely, and the details that varied didn’t affect the storyline for the most part. Al wants Jake to go back in time and prevent the John F Kennedy assassination, and that is exactly what Jake tries to do. The portal always comes out at the same time of the same day in the same year. The important thing Al needs to show Jake is a “rabbit hole” that leads to the past. The owner of the local diner, Al Templeton, is dying from cancer and asks Jake to come visit him at the diner so he can show him some important things before he dies. Here’s a quick little synopsis for those who have not read the book: The main character is Jake Epping, a high school English teacher who is recently divorced. And just a heads up - this article is going to have a lot of spoilers. The premiere of 11.22.63 definitely has me excited and simultaneously bummed that there will only be eight episodes. I remember being so mad that I wasted my money to see 1408 in the theatre. However, his movie and TV adaptations are usually lacking. I am a huge fan of Stephen King and have been for a little over fifteen years. Finally Stephen King has had a book adaptation that I can get behind. ![]()
