This is the most frustrating book of King's I've ever read. The hero/villain ratio is horribly off-balance and the good people are incredibly stupid. Typical scenario: "Hey! I have information on you and your days of evil-doing are OVER!"
"Oh really?" Pow! "Next!"
It's repeated over and over again. With the same asshole, no less. There was no one in this book for me to root for. In the end, I wanted them all to die.
Well yeah, him. Only because King leaves you no other alternative. In a book of almost 1,200 pages, it shouldn't be like that. That's why I was left so utterly screwed over and let down.
Chef? He wasn't more than a mention in the book for over 3/4 of the novel. And when he did reveal himself, he was nothing more than a cliche' of every thing that's wrong with religion. And Rusty was only a generic, watered-down version of Barbie. I LOVE Stephen King's writing. This man is a major influence for my love of horror. Under The Dome wasn't his worst novel, but it was his most epic failure, in my opinion.
@yeah i phrased that wrongly but i did like those characters, it was kinda sad at the end, when after getting to know a lot of these people for a long time, they just get wiped out straight away by either the explosion or the toxicity of the resultant gases. I was quite annoyed at how big jim died as well, i was expected some climactic battle invloving him and barbie, but they didnt even meet each other after barbies escape from prison.
Your an idiot. Your type up a stupid scenario without even relating it to one single incident in the book and you expect people to take it as the truth. Your were confused just admit it. Too much character development, naturalistic dialouge, symobolism, and beatiful Pro's for you too handle.
That's why your name is Donniedarkodevotte, fag. And that also explains your picture too.
And Donnie Darko is solely a movie to be viewed by cock gobblers.
All this because I didn't like the book? You do know ignorance and opinion are two different things right? Ignorance, for example, would be your use of the word YOUR when you clearly should have typed the words YOU and YOU'RE . You dropped the ball on that one a few times. Not to mention you misspelled DIALOGUE, SYMBOLISM, BEAUTIFUL and PROSE. I don't take offense to your statement. In fact, I find it awesome that someone as ignorant as you can actually read a book. Well done!
Also, I have to say I've watched Donnie Darko at least 10 times and my heterosexuality remains intact. I'm not sure which version you're watching that makes you crave cock, but it can't be the same one I'm watching. Either that, or you're fighting feelings that I just don't have. That's something YOU are going to have to work out on YOUR time when YOU'RE up to it. You should change your name to AntiSpelling, although ProRanting suits you fine as well.
though, why does the cover art and this video directly contradict the book's description of the Dome? I was confused as to how a semi-spherical dome can conform exactly to the town lines when it was explained that the dome isn't even a dome, but a column. Yet nobody seems to remember that :P
@samIam1497 ... it's called an "artistic rendition" ... even in the book, although the dome is described as having vertical walls straight up ... it's still called "the dome" and not the tall cylinder.
well i read almost everything by Stephen King and i can say that book is one of the greatest books i have ever read before.and it;s obvious that the book wasnt written for money.respect
I finished the book yesterday.I must say i cried in the end.Was realy touching and was also it made me think of many things.Its a realy wonderful book full of meaning and also it wont let you take your eyes away if you start reading!I definately recomend it!!!!<3
Of course, it's better the first time around, than the second.
The first, you get emotionally evolved and all with the foreshadowing and the "what's happening here?" thing. The second time around, you know what's going on and it's not as enjoyable.
I'm currently on page 329 and I can not put the book aside. Dizzying plot startling figures as Barbara Deal Big Jim Rennie. And by describing the town of Chester miles magnificent landscapes, claustrophobic atmosphere that threatens to Stephen King writes in all that convincing.
For a moment I thought I was a resident of the town of Chester miles
@yosef208.if you want to see what big jim rennie and dale barbara look like,check for neil warnock on your tube for rennie,and william sadler for dale barbara.tell me what you think.
@TomoexNanami.each time i read a king s book,i visualize what its characters might look like.i have a guy in mine as big rennie,his name is neil warnock,he s a soccer manager.type:"neil warnock interview" on you tube to see the face i put on big rennie and tell me what you think.
@charmingman87 what are you talking about? junior died at least 200 pages before the explosion? juniors call to his dead was one from the dead i thought that much was obvious
AMAZING! if they decide to make this movie im gonna audition for it i just got the book and im gonna start reading it it would be soo cool if i got to get in this movie!
the book is good, to many pages for me i guess but i loved some part where the "action" happends and all parts with Barbie and his opppsites are nice.
i'm now reading the book, my dad gave it to me :) he knows i love Stephen King and thanks to him, i already read like ten of his books. i'm only 15, but i LOVE them! xD Stephen King is absolutely a genius.
Just red it, I'm only 13, but this is one of Stephen Kings best books, and I've red, Misery (epic), christine (legend), it (Soooo good) and know under the dome (best yet). Next I wana read The Stand
@ThRealityDysfunction: Read The Stand immediately. I agree that Under The Dome was very good, but it was only entertainment. The Stand, however, will change your life. Even if you love Stephen King now, you will never be able to look at him the same way again.
Im reading..well listening to the book on tape as I speak. Too many simularities to the simpson movie. Big invisible dome, Conspiracy, fight for power, etc. Im thinking its what happened when the simpsons escaped
SpeCulaTionS101, interesting to know. Certainly SK wasn't this first guy to imagined domed cities. I look forward to reading it once life grants me a few moments!
@DarthJuris: Stephen King originally thought of this idea in 1976, but, after trying to write it and failing miserably, he gave up and switched his attention to "The Stand". He just happened to decide to try this idea again at about the worst possible time (he wasn't even aware of The Simpsons movie). He says that if he had known, he would probably have never written it.
@polyarmid Okay, man. We get it. And it only took about 80 million times of hearing that exact same comparison being made. Also, for the record, he had this idea since '76.
@PerversionsOfNature THANK YOU!! I'm sick of it too. Is there any similarities between the SM and UTD? Just the Dome part. Is the movie better than the book? NO!!!
This is my favorite book, if you havn't read it, you need to. It's just that good. The whole time you picture what's going on as if it were a movie in your head. I can't wait for the movie to come out. And has been announced that this is being made, and so is the gunslinger, 2 books I can not wait to see in movies. And if you doubt they will be good, King denied the making of movies for them for a long time until he found the right person to portray the book correctly
Thanks ScribnerMarketing:):):) Of course for the Under the Dome trailer. This guy writes from his "Heart" too! A woman describes this new book called: "The Masseur" at katieblueskiesnow She reads from the book and explains it too.
@jon07261995 he wasn't going to call this book The Cannibals, that was an entirely different story he had in mind. King said himself that he had 2 different attempts (one being The Cannibals) which both utilize the same idea of people being trapped under a dome and how they would react. He decided to do a dead straight novel and wrote Under the Dome. The Cannibals was a horror story idea which he scrapped in favour of the one in question.
@ACWWfreakoid And for good reasons, too! He doesn't just hate Twilight because Twilight is uh...stupid, but he hates it because he thinks Stephenie Meyer is a bad writer! haha, owned
Stephenie Meyer has an English Literature degree, so she knows how to do brilliant prose. Stephen is just upset that his name is in Stephenie's name. LOL! You can't have Stephenie without Stephen!
@compsciguy ohhh right! because Stephen King is jealous of the four Twilight books and the movies with actors that are TOTALLY as big as Jack Nicholson, or Tom Hanks, or Tim Curry, or Morgan Freeman, Kathy Bates, etc etc etc. Hmmm...Stephenie Meyer has sold 116 million copies. Stephen King has sold over 350 million. I personally respect Stephenie Meyer, especially for her success and because she is smart for writing the books that her readers want to read, but I am a dedicated King fan.
@compsciguy Are you kidding each and everyone of us by saying that Stephenie Meyer is better than Stephen King ?
my fucking god, everybody knows that Twilight it is just another romantic story where the lovers can't be togheter because of their families and shit like that, they are everywhere since Romeo and Juliet.
Start reading good stories and stop being an ignorant,look for some statistics before compairing 350 million copies to just 116 million of them
@ACWWfreakoid If Stephen King told Stephenie Meyer that her writing is horrible, she needs to get down on her knees and beg for him to teach her the great ways of the pen! lol
Who's going to play Big Jim and Junior? I can hardly wait to find out. As for the character of "Thurston" the "hippie," I would like that to none other than Stephen King himself.
I'm only in the first 80 pages right now (OMG 1,046 pages!) but this is one of the most incredible novels I've ever read it has all of King's best attributes, and more that have been revealed! He also makes the book pretty easy-to-understand, unlike his normal story! I have a feeling that this novel is going to be a best seller for a long time.
HE JUST STOLE THE CONCEPT FROM MICHAEL GRANTS "GONE" SERIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE DID A REVIEW ON THE FIRST BOOK SAYING "this is great fiction i love these books" AND NOW HE HAS THE SAME BOOK ONLY WITH ADULTS AND A GLASS DOME WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM
there are differences im sure besides those..and think he published the book after the Simpsons Movie came out..peopl say he stole the concept from that and in an interview he said he started writing this in the 1970's i believe..waay before the simpsons movie..who really knows..he might not have stole from the Gone series by Michael Grants, but yet he might have..who knows
I think Im going to pick this book up (when I've got the money, that is.) have you ever seen a book that you think "Yep, another retarded one." but everytime you go to the book store again, you ALWAYS look over at...
@88022369: But then again, when you think about it, their deaths were a really important part of the story. No death = no explosion. Still, Chef was a badass, and Andy was a wimp turned badass, all thanks to meth. LOL

@jon07261995 he wasn't going to call this book The Cannibals, that was an entirely different story he had in mind. King said himself that he had 2 different attempts (one being The Cannibals) which both utilize the same idea of people being trapped under a dome and how they would react. He decided to do a dead straight novel and wrote Under the Dome. The Cannibals was a horror story idea which he scrapped in favour of the one in question.

I loved this book :D, just a little confused why he was about to call it "The Cannibals"

@ACWWfreakoid And for good reasons, too! He doesn't just hate Twilight because Twilight is uh...stupid, but he hates it because he thinks Stephenie Meyer is a bad writer! haha, owned

@unrealityproduction
Stephenie Meyer has an English Literature degree, so she knows how to do brilliant prose. Stephen is just upset that his name is in Stephenie's name. LOL! You can't have Stephenie without Stephen!

@compsciguy ohhh right! because Stephen King is jealous of the four Twilight books and the movies with actors that are TOTALLY as big as Jack Nicholson, or Tom Hanks, or Tim Curry, or Morgan Freeman, Kathy Bates, etc etc etc. Hmmm...Stephenie Meyer has sold 116 million copies. Stephen King has sold over 350 million. I personally respect Stephenie Meyer, especially for her success and because she is smart for writing the books that her readers want to read, but I am a dedicated King fan.

@compsciguy Are you kidding each and everyone of us by saying that Stephenie Meyer is better than Stephen King ?
my fucking god, everybody knows that Twilight it is just another romantic story where the lovers can't be togheter because of their families and shit like that, they are everywhere since Romeo and Juliet.
Start reading good stories and stop being an ignorant,look for some statistics before compairing 350 million copies to just 116 million of them
and Leve Lady Ga-Ga alone! T__T
Bitch.

@ACWWfreakoid If Stephen King told Stephenie Meyer that her writing is horrible, she needs to get down on her knees and beg for him to teach her the great ways of the pen! lol

Who's going to play Big Jim and Junior? I can hardly wait to find out. As for the character of "Thurston" the "hippie," I would like that to none other than Stephen King himself.

I'm only in the first 80 pages right now (OMG 1,046 pages!) but this is one of the most incredible novels I've ever read it has all of King's best attributes, and more that have been revealed! He also makes the book pretty easy-to-understand, unlike his normal story! I have a feeling that this novel is going to be a best seller for a long time.
KING IS KING!
