The best thing about my book is...

I am currently reading the book 11/22/63 by Stephen King.  The book is about a man who goes back in time to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  Jake has to live in the past for a long time because the only time he can travel to is in 1958, so he has to wait 5 years before he can gain all the evidence he needs to stop Lee Harvey Oswald and anyone else who might have been involved in the assassination.  The best thing about this book is it is very suspenseful.  There are so many conflicts that interrupt the main character, Jake, from his main goal of stopping Lee Harvey Oswald.  For example, Jake has a girlfriend in the past and on a day when he was supposed to witness Oswald's attempt to murder General Edwin Walker in order to see if anyone was with him, he got a call from his girlfriends crazy ex-husband who had broken into her house and was threatening to kill her if Jake did not come to her house.  This interrupted Jake in his investigation of Lee Oswald and it made him miss important evidence, drawing nearer to the day Kennedy would be assassinated.  Events like this in the book make me want to keep turning the page to see what happens next.
