stephen king - under the dome

It’s been a while since I last did an ebook recommendation. Reading has been a little slow lately, but there have been a few good reads that I want to recommend. First up is the new book by Stephen King, Under the Dome

I’ve skipped several of Stephen King’s past books, but the premise of Under The Dome intrigued me :

When the smalltown of Chester’s Mill, Maine, is surrounded by an invisible force field, the people inside must exert themselves to survive. The situation deteriorates rapidly due to the dome’s ecological effects and the machinations of Big Jim Rennie, an obscenely sanctimonious local politician and drug lord who likes the idea of having an isolated populace to dominate. Opposing him are footloose Iraq veteran Dale Barbara, newspaper editor Julia Shumway, a gaggle of teen skateboarders and others who want to solve the riddle of the dome. King handles the huge cast of characters masterfully but ruthlessly, forcing them to live (or not) with the consequences of hasty decisions.

Verdict : If you liked The Stand, then you’ll like this one. Under The Dome has a largish cast of characters, good versus evil, and all the good stuff. This is a chunky read, so set aside some time.

You can buy Under The Dome ebooks from Fictionwise, eReader or Mobipocket. Or buy a dead tree version from Amazon.

eReader is currently offering a year end special sale, with 40-60% discounts on all ebooks.
