About this listen
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, 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 select-woman, 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.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.

But the promise they made 28 years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children.

And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Gore galore, but magical, as usual!
I've been reading Stephen King novels since I was about 12. Not sure why I got into them - I'm definitely more.of an escapist reader, and I prefer fantasy to horror - but from the moment I dove into The Dark Half... and It... and Carrie... I was hooked.
Under the Dome constitutes my first King audiobook, and I have to admit: it.took me an hour or so of listening to get into the groove of it. But... that's the thing about Stephen King - there's always a groove. A familiar, but always satisfying hook, kind of like the undertow of a seemingly placid river. One second, you're floating lazily in Derry, Castle Rock, or in this case, Chester's Mill, and the next, you're caught in the clutches of the story, a slave to the whims of King's unparalleled intuitive storytelling genius.
Under the Dome had me glued to my earphones, accidentally ignoring my dog's need for attention, and foregoing meals by accident. It was amazing. If you have the time and emotional.energy to set aside for it, then do it. You won't be disappointed!

Quality story AND Narration
Great story with a large cast of characters. I would definitely recommend.
From King this is to be expected at this point so what I would like to highlight is the Narrator. I have no idea what book some of these other people were listening to when they said the narration was awful! It was done so well with each character having their own voice done, but not to the point where it was over the top. Well done!

The small town feel, the personal details of the characters and their small habits that allow the story to come together for a shocking end and all kinds of justice

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.

Epic novel
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.
