Reviews

Stephen King makes a gigantic leap back into top form with this psychological thriller...Under the Dome is the complete King package. - Herald Sun

This is an action thriller that knows how to catch enriching detail without losing pace...As a work of popular fiction Under the Dome is primarily a roller-coaster ride . It offers terror, spectacle, hope, despair, lyricism and horror all skilfully deployed...the last 200 pages cry out to be read at a gulp. I ve seldom read anything more sustained. - Sydney Morning Herald

Stephen King s latest is probably the most beautiful mystery you will read this year...a tightly written un-put-downable mystery. - Weekend Australian

'Compulsively readable. - Grazia

King's latest novel is one of his most powerful yet, with King's moral clarity giving the book a weightiness not shared by many other suspense and terror writers. - Australian Financial Review

King states in his afterword that he tried to write a book that would keep the pedal consistently to the metal" and certainly the pace is relentless until a typical King cliffhanger ending. Under the Dome continues King's tradition of bestselling books which tap into contemporary mores and concerns. Steven Spielberg and King have linked up since publication to develop it into a TV series. - The Canberra Times

'America's greatest living novelist delivers his masterpiece.' - Lee Child

'King's most purely entertaining novel in years . . . utterly compelling.' - John Connolly
