Under the Dome

So, I have recently finished reading Under the Dome.

It was a good read. Although it was long, there were almost no parts where I began skimming or skipping paragraphs due to boredom. Also, it was nice to see some new molds for characters. I didn't feel the usual characters were used (not saying Stephen King is not a wonderful writer and characterization artist, but he often uses a cookie cutter for his characters). It kept me enthralled till the end, gave me tears of joy and upset, and creeped me out pretty well.

I give it a B+

Worth the read for sure.

SHIVERS

Good Books

"Good books don't give up all their secrets at once."
-Stephen King

On the Back of the Turtle...

"See the TURTLE of enormous girth, On his shell he holds the earth."

Waiting

I am still waiting to get my hands on a copy of the last of The Dark Tower series...which is called The Dark Tower.

I am pretty psyched but also nervous.

If anyone has read the book already, do they have an opinion on it?

E-Book Confusion Update

This was posted on Stephen King's website:
" Dear Constant Readers,
Please don't believe the press reports that the e-book reader price for Under the Dome will be $35. This was the result of confusion from a press release from the publisher, what Big Jim Rennie would call a clustermug. It is true that you cannot order the book as an e-download until December 24th, but the physical book, which is a beautiful thing, you can pre-order for less than $9--so who's better than us?

Steve"

I love when he says constant readers because it reminds me of the last chapter in Song of Susannah.
