STEPHEN KING “RETURNS TO HIS GLORY DAYS OF THE STAND” (New York Daily News) WITH HIS NEW #1 BESTSELLING EPIC Just down Route 119 in Chester’s Mill, Maine, all hell is about to break loose. . . . On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day, a small town is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and rain down flaming wreckage. A gardener’s hand is severed as the dome descends. Cars explode on impact. Families are separated and panic mounts. No one can fathom what the barrier is, where it came from, and when—or if—it will go away. Now a few intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq vet turned short-order cook, face down a ruthless politician dead set on seizing the reins of power under the dome. But their main adversary is the dome itself. Because time isn’t just running short. It’s running out.

And, besides that, it's Dystopian. So, how bad could it be?The story seems a bit similar to the Gone-series (Michael Gra...
Both this book and The Stand have been looming over me since I started working on my grand library reread project. (The Stand has its own thing that I’ve been doing elsewhere; and yes, there will be a review here.) Mainly because they’re long. Not that I have an issue with very long books, but when ...
Holy crap! A thousand pages...I'm up for the challenge ;)
Dale "Barbie" Barbara is caught on the wrong side when the Dome comes down. Trying to keep himself alive and out of trouble while trapped in the little town of Chester's Mill is extremely difficult. Lots of twists and turns as the town falls apart under the onslaught of trapped humanity. I enjoyed ...
