Dear Stephen King-
I received your latest tome, 'Under The Dome' for Christmas. I'm about 130 pages in, and all I can say is this:
IF THIS BOOK CONTINUES AT THIS SNAIL'S PACE FOR THE NEXT 800+ PAGES SOMEONE WILL GET HURT.
I mean, the first 50 pages were essentially how many characters you could kill off in relation to the Dome. We. Get. It. There is a Dome over the town. It's killed people. Can we move on now?
Also, if you want me to hate a character. do more than just have every character in the novel imply how much they hate them. If I've only seen a whole paragraph featuring said character, it's going to take them DOING something for me to hate them.
And if it all comes down to a freaking generator and some kid's having nightmares, I will be very, very cynical about anything else you have coming out.
That is all (for now).
Bec.
