Forgettable characters, terrible storyline, and a chore to listen to. I didn't finish it because I couldn't stomach it any further. Can't imagine how someone thought this was good enough turn into a tv show. I guess others felt the same…

One of the worst books I've ever listened to. Could not believe that this was written by Stephen King. It read like a discarded movie of the week script from the 1970's. Utter garbage.

Although it is long, I did enjoy the story and stayed with it through all 30 discs. I felt it had good character development and am looking forward to comparing the book to the new television series by the same name.

An enthralling audio-adaptation of a big, big book (30 discs in length meant I was listening to this pretty much for a month during my daily commute, quite a time investment!). King keeps the story moving at a very brisk pace, and does…

Damn. Stephen King has been such hit or miss for me lately. Add Under the Dome to the latter column. I tried, I really tried to like this one, but I feel the story took too long to figure out what it wanted to do. Normally I don't mind as…

A mysterious invisible barrier suddenly appears one day surrounding a small town in Maine cutting it off from the outside world. This creates unimaginable fear, chaos and leaves many questions unanswered. A power struggle inevitably…

I liked it. Some of the technology a bit dated. Would have used lasers and compressed air for example. Still good and fun to listen too.

I really enjoyed this book. At over 31 hours, King did a great job in developing the plot. The reader was awesome. The local mentalities were frightening, plausible and disturbing. Gotta love King for that!

Never let a good politician time to pray! The first recommendation about this book, is the audiobook version, which I had listened to. The voice actor, Raul Esparza, has an intonation, a voice inflection, a characterization for each of…

Incredibly long, but worth the time to listen to this. Characters are typical Stephen King fair, and the whole thing is a bit of a Parable, and is littered with King's own opinions on things (which is a little stunted too). Interesting…

I was UNDERwhelmed by UNDER the dome. I did not care about any of the shenanigans going on under there. This might make a passable made for TV movie. I wouldn't bother watching it, though. It must be me. The author is very popular and has…

This is one of the more superbly done audiobooks. The reader is so talented, it was like listening to a one-man radio show. Impressive for such a long (30 discs!) book. The story is classic King...he does characterization so well. For…

This book really blew. Quite a disappointment. Read 'The Stand' instead.
