If you can get past this book's 1000+ pages, you will find another jewel of a saga by Stephen King. In the line of The Stand and It, Under the Dome brings us along while catastrophe and heartache afflict this small Maine town. By the 500 page range I was wondering what else could possibly happen to these to people! And then, Stephen went on to answer that question. The ending is almost anti-climatic after all the people endured but it was heartening to know that somehow, a small group did survive. If you don't mind humanity being likened to ants, then you just might enjoy this whale of a tale by Stephen King.
