À propos de cet audio

The “propulsively intriguing, staggeringly addictive” (USA TODAY) novel from master storyteller Stephen King—a #1 New York Times bestseller.

It is a typical October morning in Chester’s Mill, Maine: glorious weather, a perfectly blue sky, and quiet. Then, all hell breaks loose. Inexplicably, and simultaneously, a plane falls from the sky in flames; a woman’s hand is severed; and a farmer’s John Deere explores (with him on it). A few moments later, a pulp-truck crashes spectacularly. Somehow, an invisible and impermeable barrier—exactly following the town’s perimeter—has descended upon the town.

Life under the dome quickly becomes a hothouse—with the best in some people and the worst in others flourishing. There are unambiguous heroes and villains, from a supremely corrupt local politician to a very enterprising newspaper reporter. The situation under the dome deteriorates by the minute: supplies of everything are diminishing quickly, the citizens are panicking, and the police force, under the control of the diabolically devious alderman Jim Rennie, implement their own version of martial law. Meanwhile, Barbie, brave Iraq war vet and short order cook, and a band of intrepid pals engage in a race against time to find the source of the dome and raise it before there’s nobody left alive in Chester’s Mill.

Under the Dome is filled with a marvelous and enormous cast of over 100 characters. King’s trademark idiomatic language is pure pleasure to read. “Nowhere in Mr. King’s immense body of work have his real and fantasy world collided with such head-on force” (The New York Times Book Review).©2009 Stephen King; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster

Another good one from King.

I really enjoyed The Stand and this one was similar in the way it put you into the story. I despised the bad guys and wanted them to get it in the end.

I really enjoy King’s novels especially when I can listen to them in my car on a long ride.

The explanation of the dome was good. Plausible in a way that can be in a sci-fi novel. I don’t want to give anything away but it wasn’t cheesy.

Overall a great yarn.

Epic novel

I had watched some of the tv series and didn't realize it was a full length book until a few weeks ago. I'd rank it with my favourite King books like The Stand or The Outsider. I like the pace. I liked the reader performance.

Best of the Best

Reader did an amazing job with the huge cast of voices. I could follow who was speaking just by tone, intonation, and accent.
