Book Description:

King's return to supernatural horror is uncomfortably bulky, formidably

complex and irresistibly compelling. When the smalltown of Chester's

Mill, Maine, is surrounded by an invisible force field, the people inside

must exert themselves to survive. The situation deteriorates rapidly

due to the dome's ecological effects and the machinations of Big Jim

Rennie, an obscenely sanctimonious local politician and drug lord who

likes the idea of having an isolated populace to dominate. Opposing

him are footloose Iraq veteran Dale ôBarbieö Barbara, newspaper editor

Julia Shumway, a gaggle of teen skateboarders and others who want to

solve the riddle of the dome. King handles the huge cast of characters

masterfully but ruthlessly, forcing them to live (or not) with the consequences

of hasty decisions. Readers will recognize themes and images from King's

earlier fiction, and while this novel doesn't have the moral weight

of, say, The Stand, nevertheless, it's a nonstop thrill ride as well

as a disturbing, moving meditation on our capacity for good and evil.r
