Superman Wc 254690760ee1e — One of my favorite writers as a kid. Still is!

Moebnis Kim tlsqjaq5e9d — I put off reading this novel for more than a year because it is massive, 1,074 pages in hardcover. But I may have temporarily forgot that Under The Dome was written by Stephen King, who, in his own words, likes to write with "the pedal to the metal." Under The Dome has all the earmarks of a Stephen King novel: violence, massive destruction, sexuality (much of it perverted), and a deliciously depraved villain. It also has a cast of characters so large that King lists the main ones (in categories, no less) at the front of the book for easy reference. He also gives us a map of Chester's Mill, Maine (the sock-shaped town, population about 2,000, where the story takes place) showing the major landmarks in the novel. The hero is Dale "Barbie" Barbara, a disillusioned ex-army officer (who has been the cook at the Sweetbriar Rose restaurant for the past few months) who is on his way out of town when the Dome comes down. I won't tell you what the dome is or why it comes down. Suffice it to say that Barbie is trapped, which is inconvenient. He was leaving because of bad blood between him and some of the town's young punks, particularly Junior Rennie, the son of Big Jim Rennie, used car dealer and one of the town's three selectmen. Big Jim uses the dome to assert his leadership. The town needs a leader to keep order now that it is cut off from the rest of the world, and why shouldn't that leader be Big Jim? The only problem is that Barbie manages to get a call out to his former commander, Colonel Cox, who promotes him to Colonel and puts him in charge of the situation. This doesn't sit well with Big Jim, who embarks upon his mission to take over the town with the help of his "special" police officers. These are the town thugs who will do what Big Jim tells them, using whatever force is necessary (or even unnecessary) to keep the citizenry in line. Barbie and the friends he's made since coming to town are the major obstacles in the way of Big Jim's goal. They must be silenced, discredited, and/or killed to prevent them from interfering with Big Jim's plans. Under The Dome may be a massive novel, but it is a page-turner, right up though the electrifying climax and conclusion. I highly (double highly) recommend it.

Luke Grey lukegrey — The story starts in 1911 with Hester writing a letter to her sister saying that she’s looking forward to the new maid, Cat, coming and how she will be her ‘project’. We are then fast forwarded to the present when Leah, a freelance journalist, has been asked to come to Belgium from England to try and discover the identity of a young WWI soldier who has been found buried in a garden. He had two letters on him from a H. Canning which pique her interest. This is the intriguing beginning to a compelling drama played out during the long hot summer of 1911 when everyone’s lives would never be the same again after the two additions to the Canning household, who comprised:- Cat Morley, feisty, unafraid to speak her mind, even to her employer, and had been in prison for her suffragette activities. I really liked her, and, like many servants at that time she was starting to question her status and rights. Robin Durrant, a theosophist who believed in ethereal beings and was on a quest for wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. Both Cat and Hester didn’t trust him. He was manipulative, smooth, unreadable and a very unlikeable but compelling character. Hester Canning, naive and nervous wife of the vicar, she is desperate for a child. I felt a lot of sympathy for her, she was a good person who tried to do the right thing but she was too soft. Albert Canning, the local vicar who invites Durrant to stay, believes everything he says and hangs on his every word, his face alights with excitement welcoming Robin to his house. In the present, while Leah is trying to identify the soldier, the sender of the letters and the secrets contained therein, we discover the truth about the lies and deception during that ill-fated 1911 summer. I really liked the dual narrative between past and present. I loved everything about this book, the time period, the writing, the original plot, the characters who all seemed real and believable to me. If you’re interested in this time period I would definitely recommend a non-fiction novel called The Perfect Summer: Dancing into Shadow in 1911 by Juliet Nicholson. The backdrop is the long hot summer of 1911 and here are my thoughts on the book.

Sofía Medina smedinasan9236 — While our tastes and lifestyles are different, she seems like a sensible lady.

Maxim Dureev _axim_ureev — Seemed to consist of dialogue between self-absorbed Hollywood personalities; didn't like anybody in the book.
