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.

Thanks for the WSJ link - K for you!

I don't like King's really violent books. What I really like about his earlier books is the characterization- I could really believe I was back in the time of Christine.

I saw the book at Costco yesterday, for $18 and change. And I remembered why I don't like King pbooks - it is huge! I think I will go for the enhanced ebook as the first purchase on the Kindle Fire!
