Under The Dome

For me, reading Stephen King at Christmas time---is s long standing tradition, that began too many years ago when I was raising my children., It was often the only thing I got for Christmas--and it was always a wonderful time. I stopped buying Stephen King books right after his accident when the quality of his books declined and the plot lines haven't made sense. Then several years ago I started reading him again--and I knew he was back--my old friend. His newest book Under the
Dome, while not a masterpiece--is certainly an entertaining read. His characters are strong and interesting and when I am in his world with them I am completely at home.

Yet something was amiss in this work--the ending, although it was foreshadowed in skeletal framework was not fully developed for the novel. This will make a far better movie, which I wouldn't hesitate to go see. So if you are a long-time Stephen King fan--wait until it comes out in paperback or read it on Kindle as I did. If you are new to Stephen King--wait for the movie--you'll find it more satisfying
