Chewbury reviewed Under the Dome by Stephen King (Under the dome -- bk. 2)

Possibly the best book I've read in years. It doesn't have the sweep and scope of, say, The Stand or It, but it's intense, involving and exciting.

All hell has broken loose in Chester's Mill after an invisible force field suddenly and inexplicably descends on the small Maine town, isolating all within it from the outside world.
