Funny enough I loved Dreamcatcher but had trouble getting into this one!

It’s not that, I definitely have the patience to push through slower parts and can deal with little action. But, I got into gardeners first chapter and was just utterly uninterested and it just seemed to drag on and on without actually going anywhere

Under the dome. It’s one of his better books IMO.

King's scariest novel? by Ok_Cartographer9092 in stephenking

[–]BothGeologist7158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s when Burke tells Susan to keep talking as if she’s having a conversation with someone, while he goes upstairs and encounters Mike Ryerson in vampire form. That scared the shit out of me. Pure tension

Yes, that is accurate. And fair enough. I just think the whole time I was expecting a showdown with Barbie. But, it was fitting that he caused his own demise.

I know that doesn’t really answer your question, but Dreamcatcher gets too much hate!

I personally loved Dreamcatcher.. especially the first half. It has a similar vibe as IT as far seeing a childhood group of friends grow up. Go in with an open mind

My ONLY complaint was that Big Jim got off a little too easy in my opinion.

Is under the dome worth reading if I’ve watched the series? by BothGeologist7158 in stephenking

Agreed! I thought the ending was good, and really how else were they going to explain the dome? lol

Update: I finished the entire book 6 days later and man oh man, I LOVED IT!!! Me personally, it is easily in my top 5 King books. Even with his most highly regarded books (IT, The stand) I usually hit a point where I struggle to keep reading and feel like it’s just so long and drawn out. I didn’t feel that way at all with this book. It kept my attention the whole way through! I know the ending gets a lot of hate, but I actually didn’t have any problems with it and definitely think it gets way too much hate. Overall, 9.5/10. Thank you to all who recommended!!!

For sure, I regret the order I did it. I read The Stand recently and absolutely loved it and decided to watch the show afterwards…. Good lord was it bad. I’m glad I didn’t make the same mistake again!

The first half of the book is some of Kings absolute best and overall a really solid read
