Under The Dome

Under the Dome by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You have to give Stephen King credit: he knows how to give his fans what they want. In the case of Under the Dome, he gets right out of the gate with some nice slicing and dicing, a few explosions, and keeps the pedal on the metal from there. Now, his critics would probably complain about the nice, neat ending, where the bad guys get theirs, and the good guys, minus a few casualties, “win,” but I’m not one of those critics. This book may not have the classic horror aspect of some of his other books, but the absolute horror of human nature put under stress is far scarier than a lot of his classic horror.
Up next is The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris, book #4 of my 50 book challenge for 2010.
