U is for...
Under the Dome
by Stephen King
Scribner
November 2009
Hardcover
From amazon.com:
When the small town 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 “Barbie” Barbara, newspaper editor Julia Shumway, a gaggle of teen skateboarders and others who want to solve the riddle of the dome.
This is a HUGE book! My copy (with this cool cover) is a trade-size paperback and it's 1,088 pages! I love the cover and want to read more SK but so many are too scary for me and this one didn't seem so bad. I haven't started it yet and it may take another year before I do but the book was at Costco and I do love their book prices!
