Review

'Spooky, mysterious, gripping and satisfyingly scary' -- Daily Telegraph on JUST AFTER SUNSET 'King has the ability to capture the reader's imagination from the first page' -- Sun on JUST AFTER SUNSET 'His most accomplished work: 13 beautifully turned tales, no two of which are alike' -- Daily Express on JUST AFTER SUNSET

Product Description

Celebrated storyteller Stephen King returns to his roots in this tour de force featuring more than 100 characters - some heroic, some diabolical - and a supernatural element as baffling and chilling as any he's ever conjured. On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as 'the dome' comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet, teams up with a few intrepid citizens against the town's corrupt politician. But time, under the dome, is running out...UNDER THE DOME is King at his epic best and will capture a brand new readership as well as thrilling his existing fans.

4.0étoiles sur 5 King burns rubber for 1072 pages, Nov. 13 2009
Par J. Tobin Garrett (Vancouver, BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Under the Dome: A Novel (Hardcover)
I read my first Stephen King book when I was 13 years old and have been hooked every since. As is expected with an author that has something like 50+ published novels of pretty substantial size, I have been disappointed a number of times. Under the Dome, however, is not one of those times. After getting my hands on an advanced reading copy through my work (a bookstore) I started this behemoth and was hooked from page 3. King starts this story with a bang and burns rubber throughout the entire novel, never letting up the hyper-speed pace. With a book this size, I was expecting a few parts to sag, to be boring, but nothing like that ever happened while reading this book: I was completely addicted.

The story is simple: a big ol' dome comes down and cuts off this one small town, Chester's Mill, from the rest of the world. No one can get in or out. What the novel focuses on is how that changes the society inside the dome, how people react to their new enclosed space. And, since this is a King book, you can expect that they don't act well. This town has a lot of bad apples and skeletons in the closet, and they all come out to play when the dome comes down.

There are a few times in this story where I had to suspend my disbelief a little bit farther than I was willing. Mainly, in that things turned south so fast. Perhaps it was just the fact that the book was hundreds of pages, but I couldn't help being jarred whenever I learned that only a day or two had passed in the world of the book, when it felt like it was more time to me. Perhaps this was a conscious decision to keep the pacing fast. Some of the characters can come across as cartoonish, especially the main villain. Most of the characters are well-written and interesting, with faults that make them more believable. But this book is a good one. Not as good as the book it's inevitably going to be compared to (The Stand), but good. King dives into some complex questions about authority, fear, and propaganda, drawing some comparisons between the tactics of George Bush and Dick Cheney and our Dome-villian government figures. There is also a pretty heavy dose of environmental catastrophe interlaced throughout that parallels well with our current global warming issue.

My advice would be not to start this book unless you're ready to turn off the phone, lock the door, and finish the whole thing in one go.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A great King Novel, Nov. 15 2009
This review is from: Under the Dome: A Novel (Hardcover)
Very Good Novel. Reminisant of the stand in which a small town crisis has the town slowly dividing into sides of good and evil. Although more than 1000 pages in scope, not nearly as broad in locations as the story is set entirely in the small town. Some really great characters to root for and some evil ones too that I really loathed (Rennie!)I would recommend this book to King fans. He is the very best at articulating the tensions and development of characters in his books, and there are quite a few in this one. What gave this review a 4 star instead of 5 was the ending. Not a bad end to the book, but it tied up a little too quick considering the scope on a whole. (but I find that in 90% of all books in my opinion)

5.0étoiles sur 5 the old stephen king is back!!!, Nov. 24 2009
Par K. Laybourne "the readaholic" (Nelson B.C. Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Under the Dome: A Novel (Hardcover)
This novel is so reminiscent of his older style of writing. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish in 3 and a half days!! I was hooked by page 2 and unable to put it down. He has been my favorite author since his novel Carrie and I lost faith after Dreamcatchers but it has been restored. He has a wonderful offcentered sense of humour, and builds his characters so well that you would know them if you met them on the street. The Stand was and is my personal favorite, but Under the Dome is running a close second. I highly recommend it to all the faithful readers out there.
