King's bestselling novel centres on a small town suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible dome.

In UNDER THE DOME, King has produced another riveting masterpiece. The end of every chapter hooks you into the next, drawing you inside a psychological drama that is so rich, you don't read it, you live it.

It is the story of the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine which is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one can get in and no one can get out.

The normal rules of society are suddenly changed and when food, electricity and water run short, the community begins to crumble. As a new and more sinister social order develops, Dale Barbara, Iraq veteran, teams up with a handful of intrepid citizens to fight against the corruption that is sweeping through the town and to try to discover the source of the Dome before it is too late . . .

I loved this audiobook, what totally made it was the excellent narration- probably one of the best narrated audiobooks I have listened to and couldn't have come too soon as have listened to some pretty rubbish narrators recently.
It's a great novel and my first Stephen King, great characters and there are a lot of them but all are really well developed. The story is out there but actually it feels really believable, I agree with some reviewers about the ending but to be honest that didn't take away from how great the entire novel is.

I loved this book and although i agree it did bring Steven King's The Stand to mind i dont think that making it any shorter would have been of any benefit. i was slightly disappointed by the fairly quick ending to it all though. The true star to this though was Raul Esparza. He made the book far more enjoyable with his numerous accents and voices for all the different characters considering how many Steven King always includes in his books. I didnt want to stop listening to this as i wanted to know what was going to happen next which is always a good sign.

I read this wonderful novel a week after the election of Donald Trump; it is eerily appropriate in its characterisation of the populist forces which have led to this dreadful outcome, both in Chester Mills and in the USA. A brilliant book.

A brilliant story that's entertaining from start to finish! Raul Esparza is a delight to listen to and gives each of the many characters we meet a very distinct and excellent voice. I thoroughly reccommend it.

A Must-Listen!

The narration was simply excellent and the story wonderful - classic King.

I'm a big fan of THE STAND (it's a go-to book for me - I must have read it half a dozen times over the years), and like many other reviewers I enjoyed immersing myself in a book that felt similar in so many ways (but original in its own way too).

If you're missing Fran, Stu, Ralph and the others then this is one for you! Hours and hours of tense drama, a great cast, and a compelling plot. Brilliant!

Amazing and absorbing
