Publisher's Summary
In Stephen King's mesmerizing new masterpiece - his biggest, most riveting novel since The Stand - a Maine town and its inhabitants are isolated from the world by an invisible, impenetrable dome.
Celebrated storyteller Stephen King returns to his roots in this tour de force, featuring more than 100 characters - some heroic, some diabolical - and a supernatural element as baffling and chilling as any he's ever conjured.
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mills, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the Dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.
Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens - town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a selectwoman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing - even murder - to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry.
But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.
With some of the most spectacularly sinister characters King has ever imagined and a driving plot, Under the Dome is Stephen King at his epic best. This book will thrill every listener who's ever loved a novel by King.

Amazing narrator!
Would you listen to Under the Dome again? Why?
Under the Dome was equivalent to King's best, namely The Stand and IT. The way the narrator brought all the characters to life with his amazing accents and ability to capture the personalities was a true talent. I would listen again just to hear Raul and his art bring the story to life.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Definitely Barbie
Which character – as performed by Raul Esparza – was your favourite?
You couldn't go past Raul's interpretation of Jim Rennie. The smug southern drawl that became Rennie truly made you dislike the character with a passion.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! I will listen to it again!
Any additional comments?
I had difficulty reading the book and lost interest early on, never finishing it, but after listening to the audiobook version I regret not completing it. I truly had no idea how good it was! Highly recommended.

A very enjoyable journey
I watched a couple episodes of the television series and wasn't impressed so I started to read this book with no great expectations. Almost immediately I was dragged in and thoroughly enjoyed the whole ride.

Stephen King, still the king of storytelling!
Loved this book. Creepy, thought-provoking and a frighteningly plausible scenario that had me questioning my moral stance against humanity. This book has humble heroes- my favorite kind and relatable villains who remind me that evil is a spectrum... tread carefully... 🙂
