I downloaded Under the Dome by Stephen King. Now I do like my Stephen King - I've read the full version of The Stand- so I had high hopes.
Reader, I gave up after the first few chapters. The goodies seem too good and the baddies seem too bad - where are the shades of grey? I felt I knew where the story was going in that Barbie will be framed for Angie's murder and it will all go a bit Animal Farm/Lord of the Flies....I just lost interest.

I nearly grabbed a copy of this the other day, but I am in a funk with Stephen King stuff. I loved it when I was a teen, but now as an adult, it seems he has a point about two-thirds in where he gets bored and everything goes downhill, the remaining third being broken into random filler and the random endings.
Your review has reinforced this fact ;)
