Stephen King: Under the Dome

I recently read Under the Dome, and to say I liked it would be an under statement. This book in a way defines what a page turner is. I just could not put the book down (Though, at almost 900 pages, it is quite heavy;))

Right from the beginning, I was mesmerized with the unusual plot, and really wanted to know how and why the dome engulfed the city. But, as I reached half way through, I was so entangled in the rapidly weakening social and political scenario, that I almost forgot about the dome :innocent:

Though, Stephen King got a lot of characters killed, I think Big Jim's death scene was the most impressive of them all. Though, I found the end of the novel as a dampener. A well written novel was finished too abruptly.

But, still the novel is quite amazing and can be read again and again, despite it being a suspense, which are usually just one-time read.
Definitely deserves :star4:
 
Begin at once, the novel is too charged to put down, with the very first chapter creating an inescapable dome around the reader
 
I quite enjoyed it. Just one loose end that bugged me. Spoiler alert, but what happened to the kid? I would have liked to have known in the end who took him in.
 
I was at the local bookstore yesterday and looked it over... My though was "oh great another long drawn out story like the stand"...Normally i really like Stephen King, but after reading "from a buick 8" i lost interest in him. Being that said and reading all the comments about "under the dome" I think i'll go pick it up.
