Under The Dome: A Novel

I am a massive Stephen King fan and the only way for me to enjoy his books is by audio book. Mr. Esparza is damn good and the majority of the story grabs you and keeps you in. The issue I had was I didn't feel fulfilled in the end. I didn't feel satisfied and for a reader/listener, that's a big deal. There haven't been many books that let me down, but this one did. I'm just happy I didn't have to read it for myself. There is also an issue with the audio of this book as you need to blast your volume to full blast just for it to be understood.

Good story, good narrator. I don't know why one reviewer complained about the character voices. The narrator did a great job on the different character voices. I especially like how the skateboarder sounded like Otto (the school bus mechanic) from the Simpsons. Yeah, I'm 41 years old and I grew up with the Simpsons. Bite me. Also, I'm not going to spoil anything by giving away any details about the ending, but I liked it. it wasn't a let down ending, it was weird and twisted and explained the dome, and the source of the dome just fine. It was a lot more of an explanation than you'd get out of any "true" UFO book. I don't disbelieve in UFO's but they surely aren't from space and aren't running a crossbreeding program. think about it. would we humans cross-breed with apes? no. so if "aliens" are a superior life form, why would they breed with humans, which are an "inferior" life form? they wouldn't. but so many UFO nuts can't imagine any other scenario, so they're stubbornly closedminded

I read this book many years ago but it been so long I honestly couldn't remember the ending. I probably said this about multiple Stephen King books but honestly at this moment I think it is the best book he ever wrote. he absolutely kept the pedal to the metal I was cripped from almost the beginning to the end.
