Does the book have a lot of violence? I'm a real wuss when it comes to reading horror/violence and have avoided Stephen King books, but the subject matter of this one is of great interest to me.
I read an interview where Stephen King said that he was writing historical fiction to attract more of "The Help" crowd, but at the same time, the interviewer stated: "
For all its historical heft, "11/22/63" bears many of Mr. King's trademarks. It's ultra-violent and suspenseful, with supernatural overtones".
I'm a bit concerned about the "ultra-violent" comment.
