As I had re-kindled my interest in Stephen King with "11/22/63" I decided to e-read "Under the Dome". Like all SK novels, it does read well - you are compelled to find out what the next chapter holds.
The basic premise is that a small town in Maine suddenly finds itself locked under an impenetrable, clear dome. No traffic in or out of town. Small town political leaders become driven by power...
However, I didn't find the book all that "believable". The move to evil of the locals seemed much too fast, and the ending wasn't' all that fulfilling, it seemed a little extreme and rushed. I guess the purpose of the dome was interesting, but I found it too "out to lunch" and might have been better as some more intrinsically interesting plot or mystery.
I have found other SK novels to be much more complete and probably wouldn't recommend this one.
