Exactly right X. As a matter of fact, 11-22-63 story happens late in the story but I found myself wrapped up in not only the story but the characters, even minor characters (ie Green Card man?). In every flashback segment I pictured the town, shops people a certain way. For me many of the little things mentioned were nostalgic too. I can't wait to see a movie of it.
