4.0

A beast of a novel even for King's standard of writing long books, this one comes in at over 1000 pages. But even with its length   the momentum of the book is high paced and doesn't seem to have the mid slow that other long books can have. Though there is a supernatural or otherworldly element to the story.  The real horror of Under the Dome lies in what happens when humans are put, quite literally, with their backs against the wall.  When the outside world is unreachable people's true since of morality comes into play. The scariest part is seeing who rises up as heroes and who rises up as monsters when their is no one to hold anyone accountable.  And how humans truly can be the masters of their own downfall.

4.75

This is one of King’s best. Engaging from page 1 to the end. Even with the few weak spots, I come back to this year after year for the study of humanity and the consequences of no consequences. 

Even 15 years later, it feels fresh and pertinent and subversive and possible. 

Of note, due to its scope, there are many (every?) triggers so take care.

It was… fine. Gratuitously violent, wayyyy too long, and the “reasons” were ridiculous. I have never written a CW list this long, and I hope to god I will never write one this long again.

Stephen King could’ve made a point here, but he threw it all away for some

goddamn fucking aliens

so, overall, the book was just… meh 🤷🏼‍♀️

Very cliché. Too long. So many unnecessary details. The ending was a bit of a twist but not satisfactory.
