His [King's] fascination with evil ... arranges characters among clear mortal frontiers that fell meaningful rather than simplistic. King commands an inordinately fat space on the bookshelf with 11.22.63 but it's hard to begrudge when his vast imagination is working across such an epic canvas. * \u003ci\u003eSeven, The Sunday Telegraph\u003ci\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eStephen King is up there with the best. It's a thriller, a meditation on late Fifties and early Sixties America and a love story.
