Title: Under the Dome

Author: Stephen King

It was the usual kind of day that all the residents of Chester's Mill had come to expect at noon in late October; a calm Autumn wind blew through the leafless trees and the townspeople went about their daily business. All except for Dale Barbara, also known as Barbie, a former Army lieutenant who had previously worked as a cook at the Sweetbriar Rose cafe before he got in a scuffle with some rude teenagers in the parking lot. Attempting to leave Chester's mill, Barbie had been two feet away from freedom before the "dome" came down. An airplane flying overhead was unfortunate enough to smash into the side of the invisible barrier and left a large, black smudge that seemed to float in the middle of the sky. Barbie, as well as over a thousand other town members, have been trapped under something that no one can even begin to comprehend. Some believe it is a new terrorist weapon. Others believe that their own government is responsible. There is no knowing what exactly the dome is or where is came from, and slowly the air supply is becoming thinner and more and more polluted. However, one thing is for certain: no one can get in, and no one can get out...

Stephen King is a master at horror, but is also a master at showing the ugly side of humanity, and things get really hideous in Under the Dome.

I picked this book up because it is by Stephen King and it was huge.

I finished this book because I had to know what the heck the dome was and if anyone could possibly survive it.

I'd give this book to any apocalypse fans or anyone who likes Stephen King.

Rating: **** Really liked it.
