Under the Dome
I read Under the Dome by Stephen King. I won't recommend it. I hated it.
The premise of a city under a dome was classic sci-fi, and I'm a confessed sci-fi fan. However, the story was really more of a horror story, something I don't enjoy as much. By the end of the book there were too few survivors for my taste, and I often felt like the author was beating me over the head with his characterizations. They certainly lacked subtlety. I noticed too, that everyone in the book who has the least bit of religion was a complete nut if not also a megalomaniac. It's another book that I read quickly. At first because it was interesting, and then just to get it over with.
