Let me get this out up front; Stephan King scares the crap outta me. His writing is so evil and twisted, you know there are some wires upstairs that have to be crossed. Not only that, but he looks exactly like you would expect him to look. Seriously, if I stumbled upon him at a Red Sox game I would probably piss myself. That being said, he is a hell of an author.
Under the Dome is awesome! Every time you think it can't get any worse, it does. Every time you think something good is going to happen, it doesn't. At 1,072 pages (I shit you not) this monster is actually a pretty quick read. Now, you have to be able to embrace your dark side, because the bad guys do a lot of damage for the majority of this. But if you can power through, I think you'll like it. Hell, it even has a bit of necrophilia in it, so how can you go wrong?
