long time ago that I reported on a fresh reading experience. This is due partly together with the many tasks in real life, on the other hand, the fact that the finished book a few days ago was a veritable tome.
1074 pages long, is the latest, but in 2009 published novel by Stephen King in the American hardcover original. No book, which to me is nothing, nothing you could stop over night. Also, because the author in Under the Dome (dt The Arena ) may deploy a variety of characters, where you - especially at the beginning - nachblättern often needs to whom it is because if you understand everything wants.
The story is quickly told - despite the huge size: one day sinks in the fictional American town of Chester's Mill an invisible dome over the town, which cuts about 3 000 people from the outside world. A bit of air can flow through, just as the water of rivers and streams, but otherwise people are left on their own.
Apart from this supernatural Context can be the novel basically any mystery and horror elements are missing, that King so in general - has been linked - mostly clichehaft. Especially for the late work, but even earlier, these are often not or only occasionally be found in the books.
This work is namely much more mundane matters: the life of the people and their dealings with each other to escape crime, the machinations of politicians and the battle, from the new prison.
is also with progression of the novel, a higher level, you can deal with the ecological problems of our world and the status quo, and employs the future of humanity. Very positive point is to note that the author takes us not to regurgitate everything served on a plate, but encourages the reader to reflect and philosophize.
All this naturally leads to the fact that the novel is at times a bit long-winded and you wish to know the outcome of the scene or the overall situation at length, but these are regular King reader accustomed by some plants. In the end, but then again you grateful for the extensive reading experience and would be happy if it would take longer.
Another, for the novels of the last time characteristic development in my opinion is that King in his work questions raises, which he did not answer, or creates situations that he does not dissolve. Here too we are as a reader and at the conclusion of the work many questions to which one would hope for an answer, but it does not matter to the very end. How many times in interviews, King says or writes, he is concerned with the history in to the events, and not (only) to the end to the output. If it comes out so exciting and meaningful novel, as in the case of Under the Dome, I can live well as a reader with it.
