You know it’s a good book when you reach the end, and wish there was more, even after reading 849 pages.
I finished this book today and it was AMAZING
@@bookable18 I just started this book today.
This is my favorite book of all time. I finished it in 3 days.
Dude, thats like 300 pages a day
3 days! Wow!
Im in the middle of reading salems lot rn, yesterday i read the first 100 or so pages and it was pretty slow, but i read 200 pages today and OMG it got so so so interesting so quickly, loving the book so far!
I finished this book today and it was AMAZING
WOW! Really? That's beyond inpressive....well done!
Because of king im a big fan of horror books, but man, i read 11/22/63 3 months ago and remember myself yelling at jake to just forget about oswald, stay in the past with sadie and be happy!
Me 2
Literally said “oh shit” out loud when you said you were going to film yourself reading the last few chapters. I cried soooo hard! This is why it’s my fave book! 💛 I’m so glad you picked this one Gabby!
Brews & Binds yeah I was not expecting it to get that emotional haha 😅😅😅
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Kason Damien Instablaster :)
@Caden Shepherd I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Caden Shepherd it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
11/22/63 is my favorite Stephen King book. It might even be my favorite book. I'm so glad you finally got around to reading it.
"The past is obdurate ,it doesn't want to change"
Gosh I cried so hard in the end ,the pages got wet . The most touching work of King after "the green mile".
Reading this during a pandemic makes it that much more important. This Life is special.
Yessss!! All of Stephens books are connected in his multiverse! It's like the biggest multiverse ever because he's written over 70+ books and each one has connections to others, its pretty neat 😁
Ordinary people, English Teachers, Librarians, Assistant Principals, etc, can have rich interior lives even though it may not seem so to observers from the outside.Glad you liked it. I did too.
I read this book twice and cried both times. The end is heartbreakingly beautiful
11:10 “I was just on my phone....and then I was watching TV.....and then I was on my PHONE.” 😂😂😂 Oh god, I laughed so hard at this because it’s so relatable! I loathe myself for wasting entire days doing nothing!
Loved this vlog though! Great stuff!
If you like the “everything happens for a reason” message, you’ll LOVE the Dark Tower series. There’s loads of time travel and alternate universes in that as well. So glad you enjoyed this!
Hi Gabby! I love 11/22/63! It’s not the traditional Stephen King but super fantastic in my opinion! I have read it and also have it on audio. The audio is also one of my favs! The narrator has such a soothing voice. Oh and I have never watched IT or read the book so I had no idea there was that connection! Lol
Yes! The audio is 💯
I finished this book today and it was AMAZING
I've found that I enjoy consuming Stephen King books via audio. I struggle with certain aspects of King's writing and I've found that audio helps make it easier to get through those aspects.
I have to use them in tandem if I'm going to listen to the audiobook. I'll listen throughout the day when I'm driving or running around and pick up where I left off that night in the book.
My brain is too ADD and listening to the audiobook I have too many "wait, what?" moments
@@corymhulsey1 I used to be like that but then I got a job where I was stuck behind a desk all day and had to do something to help pass the time. In the past I had tried listening to audiobooks and couldn't do it.
@@abibliophobe2731there's no way I could be productive and actually retain what I'm listening to, maybe 15 years ago but at 39 I feel like I have the brain of a 95 year old
I love your Stephen King reading vlogs so freaking much....💜💜
Omg you're reading it at last! YAYYYY! I hope you love it, it's my fave of his!
Yes! It does start slow, but it gets SO GOOD... oh thank goodness you stuck with it.
I feel mean to be so elated that it made you cry! I'm just so glad you felt the things I felt with it! I sobbed my freaking heart out to this book. x
Ok that’s it. I’m ordering this book now.
How did it went?
Go*
Just finished… it’s amazing!
Salem’s Lot next please?! I’m planning on starting that one soon
One of my favorites! I hope you enjoy and I hope Gabby reads it soon too!❤
I think that will be my next one! 😌
gabbyreads can’t wait! I’m finishing up The Toll and I’ll start that next :)
The movie with David Saul was great.
to me this is the scariest novel written by him.. the "window scene" made me curled up for hours at night
Just by watching your facial expressions and the emotions that you did through this book has made me read this book! Honestly I’m loving it so much! You motivated me enough to have me read it! Thank you! ❤️
I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I felt the same way about the end 😭
Salem's lot is another favorite of mine so I'm looking forward to it!
Your reading vlogs are one of the few that I really enjoy watching. I love how honest you are!
...and I would love to see your reaction to the adaptations too!
I finished this book today and it was AMAZING
I'm so glad you went ahead with this one. I've read it 3x and about to start it for the fourth time. I was so excited and nervous when you said you were filming your live reaction to the ending because it is so moving, especially with what is going on right now. This was the perfect time to read it.
Yes I am interested in you reacting to the adaptations. You should watch Pet Semetary since it's your favorite book by him.
Hello from Lebanon! I read this book years ago and I remember that it was a slow burn but I enjoyed it! I am a Stephen King fan and read more than 30 of his books!
i'd rank the stephen king books i've read so far as:
1. pet sematary
2. 11//22/63
3. the green mile
4. full dark no stars (novella collection)
5. the shining
6. different seasons (novella collection)
7. under the dome
8. carrie
definitely want to read salem's lot, misery & it asap
If you haven't yet you should totally check out Needful Things. It's my favorite and so underrated!
@@shayydeniece i've heard lots of positive things about that one too but it's another long one so kinda intimidating😊😊
The Dark Tower collection are some of his best. And of course you can't beat The Stand and IT are his best.
I recommend needful things, christine and misery...
Full Dark, No Stars is fantastic. Some of the most haunting stories Ive ever read
Just ordered this book along with The Stand and Pet Sematary. Boy can't wait to read them. ♥️
You got me in IT Characters.
Oh my god I just finished this book whilst watching your vlog and I didn’t cry at first until I reached the end of this video, listened to some things of what you were saying and I thought about it more myself. I realised it was a case of “right person, wrong time” he has to suffer with these memories of this past happy life and put the rest of the world and Sadie’s happiness before his own. I sat and had tears rolling down. Gave it a 5 stars. Definitely a favourite but don’t think I could sit and read the entire book a second time .
11 22 1963 is a big dream time travel book. You know it feels like a dream when you reading this book
Oh man!! I read 11/22/63 in 2011, before I read IT !!! Now I want to reread it!!! Such a good book!! Just finished The Outsider, very good, but of his recent books, The Institute was a 5⭐️ for me. Out of all I’ve read, I can’t decide which SK book is my fave. You are going to LOVE ‘Salem’s Lot too!! Omg, I’m crying bc you’re crying...lol
I loved the Hulu adaptation mostly for George McKay. He's one of my faves.
11/22/63 was my first Stephen King novel (read it when I was 14, now I'm 21) and so far it's my all time favourite book
Try reading The Stand!
I think you might love it. It's quite long though, but beautiful. It has a great well built plot and also perfect premise for quarantine - spread of deadly flu.
Highly recommend! ❤
OMG! You had me laughing so much when you said you didn't read as much as you wanted because you were on your phone and then your tv. I do the same thing. I get upset with myself when I don't read and I want to read the book. I give you so much credit to read this book. I don't think I can even read books over 500 pages especially Stephen King.
I love your videos :)
Thank you for sharing your reaction and thoughts. It is wonderful to hear people's experiences of a book and how they touch us personally - especially this book. This was a beautiful and sad ending to me, too, but kind of happy to me in a weird way.
Gabby, I'm a new subscriber, here and on Goodreads :-) This post and your last post made me think to recommend The Plot Against America as a television show. Both deal with changing histories, alternate realities, and what America would look like today if something big from its past had turned out differently. Enjoy!
You're making me cry again!! (And I've listened twice!) The audio is great too!
Your reading of this so is so much better than I have ever heard.
I agree that a good chunk of the book felt like filler which I struggle with a lot in Stephen King’s works.
I also think it’s interesting that you had mentioned that this is one of his smarter reads rather than just horror. I feel that most of his work has an undertone of society is the true evil or some other commentary. Such as Pet Semetary, Cujo, Carrie, etc.
The Dark Tower series is amazing! I know you'd be hooked after the second book. The first can be tough to get though for some people but it's all a wheel
Your reaction to this book is so powerful, holy crap. I hope you’ve read Dark Matter and Recursion by Blake Crouch, they give off very similar vibes when it comes to alternate reality, decisions changing your life and the world’s trajectory, etc. and even if you’ve read one, I think the other is also worth a read.
Sorry, Booked Solid yes Dark Matter and Recursion are some of my all time faves 🥰
Hello Gabby. I just joined your channel and I Love It ! I am so glad you did this vlog on 11/22/63. I was feeling everything you were saying about the book. I got kinda bored with it and I hate to say that I gave up on it. Now I wished I didn’t. Guess I’m going back to try it again. You gave me a lot to think about so it will put me in a different frame of mind to re-read it. I am reading Kill Creek right now and really enjoying it. Thank you.
I’m so happy you decided to read this one! It sounds amazing, it’s been high on my list. And you’re right, perfect time w all this time on our hands lol
Love your talk about setting daily quotas for reading! I've done that for years but I always end up plowing on forward to the end of the book :) I read most of Part 4 and all of Parts 5 and 6 in one day--and that end was nothing like any other King ending!
I just started this book I am on chapter 8 and I have to agree it is a bit slow right now, but I am going to keep going. This is the first Steven King book I have ever read and I need to know the ending NOW!!!
11/22/63 is my favorite Stephen King novel! Currently reading The Stand, still isn't topping this one yet.
I finished this book today and it was AMAZING
I just listened your whole video with spoilers. It was kind of fun listening to spoilers.
i just dinished reading it bc you recommended it. I could really feel the emotions Jake had to experience. And i agree that while i was reading i also wasnt rushing to finish it. I really enjoyed it so much. Ive read a lot of your recs and all of them were great but this one, i really want to hold on to it close to my heart.
j is me I’m so glad you enjoyed it too!! ❤️
I'm so glad you finally read this!!!! I've read at least 10 recommend books by you and I'm so happy you finally read a book I recommended to you in the comments lmao
11/22/63 is an awesome read. You’ll enjoy it 😎😁
You start crying and then I'm crying but I had to skip the spoilers so I don't even know why we were crying together, LOL. I guess when I get to the book I'll find out. Love your reading vlogs!
ArmySoldier33 haha too funny! Thank you 🥰😌
I can totally relate to the reading speeds for specific books. I think some books are denser to get through. And I think word count plays into it as well. Some pages has more words than others. It depends on the book and genre.
This book was such a surprising package for me, didn’t expect to be crying at the end of it! Definitely in my top 3 king books. The stand and IT take the top two places. It’s a very very close 3rd though
Looking forward to starting this after I finish the few I have right now! Love your reading vlogs :)
Great vlog! I’m definitely going to watch the Hulu mini series now. Would love to see your reactions to the adaptations.
So I just discovered you and I can’t stop watching your videos... mainly bc I really want to read something Stephen King since I’ve never done it before. I started watching 11.22.63 tonight and like you, I’m not a James Franco fan. I will say, he has done very well and I am totally seeing him in a different light now.
I love the stephen king reading vlogs so much 😍 !! Hoping for more 🤪
Brilliant book I couldn't put it down. It had a great story, time travelling, the last hundred pages it had me on my edge of my seat.
800 something pages? I read it in large print and it was even bigger 🤣🤣🤣 I picked this book up when I wasn’t even a big reader back then and I thought it was amazing! His books are a hit and miss for me but it was definitely a hit
YAAAAAASSSSS! I'm so glad you read this and loved it. ❤️❤️ I loved this book so much.
Nice to do the comments, really. The book made you cry on many occasions. Just like it did to me. It is easy to read, I love their love story, but later it gets really tense and sad later. From the moment Sadie dies, the whole store shows up. Jake has never saved USA from killing Kennedy, also he has has never helped Harry's family to be killed by sledge hammer. He has done nothing at the end, and that was the best he could do.
And for Sadie.
This is a great book and I really enjoyed your review, the only problem is that the music is really loud and you’re speaking is really quiet so I had to turn it up to hear you but then down really fast whenever the music came on.
I read this book and I loved it!! It was so fun to watch you experience the book while you were reading it, I also had strong emotions at the the end. I do agree with you on the length, a bit to long. One of my big problems that I had with the book is that I felt that the characters weren't that compelling (except at the end).
I bought this book a few years ago and decided to read it recently. I finished it Friday. It was a great book, I really enjoyed it.
Love love LOVE this book! It's the only one of Stephen King that I enjoyed reading. But I do agree it could've been cut down.
This review piqued my interest to try this book as it sounded different from the usual King. Just finished it, loved the writing and the reading experience. So thanks a bunch to you for this video! I completely agree with you on 2 of your points:
-This is a very intelligently written book. I really appreciate the fact that it is very different from the classic King's 'bizarre' mode, many a time making us question if it was envisioned in a drink/drug induced stupor.
-I am very thankful that the historical fiction part is more predominant than the Sci-fi, but, I totally agree with you that this book should have been at least a 100 pages shorter. Page 450-550 had practically nothing in it.
I really liked the part in Derry. Jake's travels through the country in that era was also charming.
This is one of King's best, albeit deviating from his horror forte, but I appreciate it all the more for that. This one and Pet Sematary are his best works.
One of my favorite King novels. New to the channel but like hearing your take on it!
I watched the series which I highly recommended, I mean James Franco is in it, I'm starting the book now, but you crying towards the end was adorable, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hope you're staying safe!
Thanks for your video. I just finished this book and needed to hear someone else going through it 😢
I've been waiting for months to get this book ,finally my sister has brought this book to me .I might start reading this book in a couple of days after finishing all my work . I'm soo soo excited to read this. ohh god
Genuinely one of my favorite novels. My absolute favorite Steven King novel, in comparison "It" was overlong and gross often while this was genuine, human, and wise. Despite not liking some of the time travel chicanery at the end being unsatisfying, the novel really does EARN the often over-repeated butterfly effect trope, because steven king understands time travel is itself a quixotic vision that you can fix everything that went wrong in history, it's an intoxicating one, but like every intoxicant it has ramifications far beyond ones immediate understanding.
Okay so I read this book a few years ago and came across your video and was like damb I gotta see your reaction lol I hate romance novels and bought this for the sci fi element but God the romance made this novel. It was amazing and I've watched the series now and loved it too. My favourite part though strangely is trying to save Harry's family finding out how difficult it is for Jake initially to find out it's harder to change the past the bigger the effect it will have on the future. Loved your review. Keep it up!
Ugh this makes me wanna reread this so bad!😍
This book hit me in the feels made cry like a baby such a good book it’s not like your average Stephen king stories but my goodness he smashed this book right out of the park same as green mile
Yessss please watch the show and let us know what you think! I loved it.
I just finished. It was so good! I didn’t expect it to end that way. But I can’t imagine a better ending. So many emotions... It’s my second King book (my first one was The Shining) but 11/22/63 is my favorite one so far.
Hi Gabby! I have that book in my house so I think i’ll read it soon! Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
The diner on the Part I Watershed Moment page is Zips. Down the road from me in Killingly, CT. Random little tidbit for you. I was absolutely in love with this story. I haven't felt a connection to characters in a story like this in a long time. Spoiler free from me, but, while I understand the ending, it's not the one I wanted haha!
Your review on the show, comparing both to one another would be amazing! I’m a huge fan of the show and now because of this book review I think I’m going to buy the book and give it a shot! 😀
I haven't read this book (yet) but I definitely will at some point! I am a sensitive person but not really a book-crier. So I'm excited to see if I'm gonna cry while reading this.
i looked the same way at the end!! So good!!
Putting in a vote again for you to read Dolores Claiborne. My mom really liked the book, and the film is very good.
Hello from Brazil!!! I didn't read the book, but I saw the series and it was amazing!!!!! Probably the best series I have ever seen. Congrats for the video
I really wish Stephen King would write some other stories about the rabbit hole. AL went to 1958 at least 50 ish times before he got sick. I'd love to hear about his adventures and what it was like during his first trip to the past. This was my first Stephen King novel. 5/ 5 stars. The Hulu series is pretty good too.
I’m starting this today because of you - have you read “the institute” or “if it bleeds” yet?
I really recommend you reading The dome. It's such a cool story and the more I read the better it became. It has over 1000 pages though... 😅
I am enjoying your review as I am listening to the audiobook.
I ordered this book from Barnes and Nobles. My fiancé recommended this book since he said the Hulu series was amazing. He isn’t a reader like me. I haven’t gotten my book in the mail yet. But in the meantime I’m reading Pet Sematary right now.
"Someone you knew in another life, honey." kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilled me.
You are the sweetest angel🥰 so glad you liked it my love it’s made me want to pick it up now but I need to finish pet cemetery first
mind of mollie ahhhh Pet Semetary is sooo good!! 🥰
Good books sometimes makes you sad,scared ,laugh and cry.
loved the ending! made me cry a lot as well!
I just started this book a couple days ago and am super loving it!
I’m currently listening in audiobook. Should I buy the book and read it?
S.King surprised . So many books I have read from him and this was just the best.
i haven't read the book yet but i just watched the show on hulu and i loved it! i hope i can get to reading this soon :)
YES Do Salems Lot! It's one of my favorites as well as Needful things!
It's my favorite book of all time and I was super excited to see that you read it ! will you do a video about your opinion on the adaptation ? :)
Loredana SORIANO I’m planning on it yes! 😌
I swear... How are we not BFFs?! You seem to love all the same actresses as me... I only watched the series because Sarah Gadon was in it... I absolutely ADORE her (very underrated actress). I’m not a huge Stephen King fan as far as reading his books, but I do enjoy many of the movies and TV shows based on his novels. And I DID enjoy this show... I think you will enjoy... Let us know!
Mano hahaha yes Sarah Gadon is amazing!!! I love her in Enemy! One of my favorite weird films 😌
I really enjoyed reading this. My only qualm is that the ending feels a little phoned in. Parts of it anyway
Aww thanks! I've only been subscribed for a few weeks now but I love your channel, keep up the great work. I'm a huge Stephen King and Anne Rice fan...
I thoroughly enjoyed the IT tie ins with the Ironworks, and Barrens, and Bev and Richie. so much fun. (I know I'm three years late, but since I looked into the book on here, my algorithm sent me your way. so be prepared for more comments haha!)
Reading this rn it’s soo good
