Dragged in the beginning for how quickly it ended. The characters were memorable and the plots were very detailed. 
Satisfied to finish the book, not sure I’m going to pick it up again.

ana_montenegro's review against another edition

Disgusting ways of narrating women, it made me uncomfortable every time a woman would be described, usually it just described their boobs or how much a character wants to fuck her. Also the tempo is really slow up to where I read, makes sense as it is more than 1000 pages tho. It really had a great concept, writing style ruined it for me. I went in a reading slump of a month or so, won’t be finishing any time soon.

jangleresse's review against another edition

I really didn’t need to read about

a graphic rape scene

and reading a few reviews advised me that there was more gratuitous violence ahead, so I’ve decided this is not for me,

Over the years I have attempted to read this book multiple times. It’s size always intimidated me and Stephen Kings work can be quite dense. But once your in, your in. 
Jim Rennie may be the best and most infuriating antagonist I’ve ever seen and that’s because he’s so real. In this current climate, egotists like him are everywhere and do cause so much pain- maybe not as much as Jim Rennie manages to inflict. 

What I’m happy about is the focus on human nature,

with less of a focus on the extraterrestrial origins of the dome.

 It is definitely a character-driven book and it benefits from that. 

I didn’t rate it higher just because some scenes I really struggled to get through, and also I wish we saw more of what happened after the dome. But I think I’m just being greedy with that one.
