This book is LONG. Ridiculously long. But that's not atypical for Mr. King, nor does it particularly bother me if the book is interesting enough. The premise behind this book was very interesting to me: a small town is instantly cut off from the world by a clear, impenetrable dome. My interest was instantly piqued. Crazy things will happen, and why would such an event ever occur? 
 But after 200 pages and not even a full day has gone by, I'm losing patience. Then, after 400 pages and only a couple of days, the town has already degraded into random violence, politics, and the coup d'etat: deputies gang raping a lesbian single mother. I'm not reading anymore. I'm sorry, but that's crossing a line. I want to know what happens, but not that much. So, I'm sorry Stephen, but this one wasn't for me. 
 One good thing: cool cover design.
