I've read two other books since I finished it. I liked it ok. It's a King so there weren't much surprises plotwise.

I just finished it.  I thought it started a bit slowly...I thought the characters were a bit flat and stereotyped, but it picked up and I ended up liking it quite a bit.

I liked it but it wasnt one that I "just couldnt out down"which is usually the case with ANY SK book.I dont know if it was the time of year or what but I actually took about a month to read this.

Got it for Christmas and just finished it today.  I enjoyed it, but Duma Key was much better, imho.

I really enjoyed it. I actually liked the ending and how it all happened. 
I liked being sucked into it for a few hours a day.
Not one I would reread though, once you know the ending it just looses the magic.

 I read it too. I wasn't sure how I felt about it though.

I read it too.  I enjoyed it, but was alittle disappointed with the "cause" of the dome.

It's sitting on my shelf. I have a couple to finish first (along with microbiology) I think I'm going to wait until after May so I can really delve into it.

Just finished it yesterday, overall it was good but I would have prefered a less deus-ex-machina ending.  The ending felt a trifle rushed.

I just finished it and enjoyed it more than Duma Key and Cell.  I thought it more Sci/fi than horror.  As for the cause of the Dome, I saw that one coming a mile away.  I can even remember a certain old tv show episode of a well-known series that it reminds me of.  (p.s. -I'm being  vague because I don't want to give away any spoilers.)
