11/22/63 by Stephen King

This is not your typical Stephen King, but it is. Kind of.

If you found a portal to the past and could change things what would the world look like after.

That’s what is going on here.
Al, an old diner owner dying of cancer shares the portal in his diner that goes back to 1958. He wants to go back and stop the Kennedy assassination. His theory is if he does then Robert Kennedy, MLK jr and the Vietnam War would be changed and thousands of people saved. 

But before he can he gets to sick so he recruits Jake, a local high school English teacher to finish the job for him.

Jake goes and gets as wrapped up in the mission as Al was but also ends up loving the era and what happens changes the course of many lives, or does it?

I totally got wrapped up in this book and enjoyed it. There is a section that references IT which was cool. Pennywise is a scary ass dude and even just hinting at him gives me the chills.
