A review by vahyso
Under the Dome by Stephen King
4.0
Ever read a book so long that it feels like you're on some kind of journey? That's how I felt while reading this book. (Along with a few of King's other works, such as Insomnia and Desperation.) Not that it's a bad thing, I actually quite enjoyed it.
Compared to the other books I've read lately, Under the Dome is very slow paced, but it's never boring. There's always some sort of action going on, the big events were just widely spaced out. There is a massive cast of characters, but after the first few chapters I didn't have too much trouble remembering who was who. The only time a big population is troublesome in a book (for me) is when the quality of the writing is poor, which I haven't experienced from any of King's works thus far.
At over 1,000 pages, it's not going to be a quick read for anybody, but I definitely recommend it to anybody who is intrigued by the description. It's definitely worth the time it takes to read.
