Under the Dome is the story of the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine which is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one can get in and no one can get out.

When food, electricity and water run short, the normal rules of society are changed. A new and more sinister social order develops, Dale Barbara, a young Iraq veteran, teams up with a handful of intrepid citizens to fight against the corruption that is sweeping through the town and to try to discover the source of the Dome before it is too late...

Review of 'Under the Dome' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Some orchestra music purist catalogue Jazz music as just music-masturbation. I always thought that simile was too far fetched not only to be applied to the rich music genre, but to most of the popular culture itself. Well, this book made me change my mind. As the pages go on, the bad characters perform a gross and just plain wrong act of villainy after another; while the good guys are just lame. Until 75% of it, I still had hope on King turning the history around, but it just went downhill. Don't take me wrong, I can accept and even enjoy the gore as the next guy, but the history has to bring interesting turns; this book only crushes your hopes as pages go on. Really, do not read it. No, really, seriously, it is not worth it.

And then, the yell: Baaaaarbiieeeeeee..... ,ohh.. no...
