Under the Dome

The premise of the story sounds great but not too far into the story it is apparent that this is a waste of time.I should have took to heart the reviews I read on Amazon.com.Too bad this is my first Stephen King novel too.

What a disappointment. I heard the first 7 hours (the book is 5 parts and each one is about 7hrs) and I was hoping to be engaged by the book by it, I was not, I skipped to the 3rd part to see if it got any better, it did not. The characters are not deep, the situations are boring, everything is just bad. The plot and the idea is intriguing but badly executed. Don't waste your money on this book, it's not even worth a credit.

Would you try another book from Stephen King and/or Raul Esparza?Yes of course. I love Stephen KingWhat could Stephen King have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? It was far too long, and some of the subplots didn't feel meaningful. The book lacked the compelling characters, surprising and thrilling plot, and overall enjoyment of his other books.Would you listen to another book narrated by Raul Esparza?Yes, the performance was perfectly fine. You didn’t love this book...but did it have any redeeming qualities? It's still very interesting to read about all these people living under the dome, but the plot just didn't do it for me. Any additional comments?Skip this book and read one of King's better books.
