A review by titus_hjelm
Under the Dome by Stephen King

4.0

This read almost like a sci-fi version of Philip Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment (http://www.prisonexp.org/) and the famous 'Lucifer Effect'. It also had reminisces of King's earlier work, especially The Stand and perhaps Needful Things. Again, it's the small town people and dynamics that are the focus, not 'horror' or 'sci-fi' as such, although there's a little bit of both here too. I got hopeful about King returning to the more traditional horror of his early years with Duma Key, but this was very good as well. 4,5 stars, really.
