I wasn't pleased by the ending. I thought it was a cop out..wasn't that on MIB? But the rest of the book was good.
THANK YOU for that mini review Bug, I was JUST about to order it for the Kindle!! BIG hug!!
I don't think he's ever done anything as good as It and Pet Semetary. It just got TOO easy for him after that..he seemed to be knocking out a novel a week there for a while!
But, I'll still read just about anything Stephen King..
I'm about halfway through The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows and I love it. When I finish it I may close it and open at the beginning and start again. It's intelligent and amusing and quirky and poignant. All things I like.
MK: Yeah major cop out- but there were really so FEW possible solutions to the dilemma he set up.
Domino: My list of favorites are: Insomnia (I've had it bad enough to hallucinate so this story fascinated me) The stand (Reread so much my copy is dog eared) the First few Gunslinger novels. The later ones just got odder and odder- good but odd. among a few others. I've read every one of his books that I can find. He writes people you could know- then torments them. Who doesn't enjoy that?

My favorite was bag of bones. I finally got to hear the end the other day. I read it years ago..but I couldn't resist hearing Stenphen read one of his own books!
Firestarter was another I liked..both the book and the movie.

Mac..I think I would have left it with the pleading and then had the dome lift..leaving everyone wondering. No explanation..no wrapped up with a ribbon ending. The last page could have been set in another small town in another country, just as a bird smacked the dome! Classic scifi.
Ahhh! MK!! Don't WRECK it!! (runs off to poke out at least one eye so no more 'spoilers' can happen..)
I thought you weren't gonna read it! Sorry
..that was just my ending..nothing like Stevie's!

I just read 'Under the Dome" too. I liked it, but I agree, not his best.
I'm reading "His Dark Materials"trilogy right now. Everyone I know read that in their teens, but I guess I missed it, lol. I"m on book 2, its really good.
Btw, if anyone is looking for an e-reader, Woot has the Sony Reader(which I have and love) for $109! Its refurbished, but they have a great reputation.

Me too!
S'okay MK, I just HAVE to read each and every one of his books..with the exception of his, 'here's how I became the GREATEST AUTHOR THAT EVER PUT PEN TO PAPER' of course..

Has anyone else read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? I haven't been so riveted by a book in quite a while. The second book is fantastic too. It might be one of the most suspenseful and addictive reads I have ever picked up!

I haven't read the hunger games - but it sounds good. I'll look for it.
On a totally different note "the art of racing in the rain" by Garth Stein is an amazing book- sad and funny. It's told from the dog's point of view.
Thank you for resurrecting this thread!

I have been on a James Rollins kick lately..down loaded some and listened to some from the library
Excavation, Altar of Eden, Deep Fathom, Subterranean, Ice hunt and Amazonia. He wrote Indianna Jones and the Crystal Skull BTW.
Good techo thrillers..lots of adventure and fluff for the brain!

Saw the bookworm thread in passing and decided to crash the group MaryKay! I'm reading a wonderful Horror/Sci-Fi novel called The Passage by Justin Cronin.This is the first book of a trilogy.....Fantastic read! Takes me back to the early days of Stephen King!! If you like Vampires(sort of)and End of the World Apocolypse books that span centuries....This is the book for you!!
Highly rated at Amazon.com

Love James Rollins and have read most of his books. Will have to check out Justin Cronin.
Just finished re-reading Heinlein's Tunnel in the Sky and am starting James Patterson's Violets are Blue.
