Book Recommendation: Under the Dome
Stephen King's most recent novel returns to some of his older styles with a massive cast of characters in this supernatural thriller.
When a mysterious dome suddenly shuts in the small town of Chester's Mill, good versus evil amongst the town people emerges quite suddenly. Tones of Salem's Lot were prevalent within this novel. It wasn't his best by far, however, King really sucks you in and makes you feel like you are under that dome and are part of the character's lives. His scenes of brutality, heartbreak and inner thoughts of the minds of the townspeople is mesmerizing, as always in his writing.
This addictive and entertaining tome is over 1000 pages, but a fun and satisfying read from start to finish.
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
