I'm very freaking interested how King will wrap this all up.

I won't be posting on my blog, as I already put up a review post and would so hate to spoil it for those who are reading along, but I do enjoy your questions and would love to throw in my thoughts to your discussion.<br /><br />I was totally unable to predict where the Dome came from...aliens? That was my initial guess. Some external force for sure, because it seemed too powerful for the wimps living trapped within.<br /><br />I must say that knowing the origins of the Dome, and how it would be resolved, kept me reading to the end. I'm not disappointed either, in how King resolved it, but we'll talk about that later.<br /><br />The only part that got to me, really, was the profanity. One expects death, murder, blood, mayhem with King. But, I could have done with less swearing if it was up to me. A rather minor point in a fascinating book, though. So interesting, and I think accurate how in the vacuum of leadership evil can arise.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-27417106780144478892011-10-08T17:09:44.003-06:002011-10-08T17:09:44.003-06:00Kate, I've only read a handful of books by Ki...Kate, I've only read a handful of books by King, I've liked them all so I really should read more but alas...<br /><br />Suey, Hee hee, yeah, at least it opened in my email so I knew what you said.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-58861755402423246762011-10-08T14:59:27.577-06:002011-10-08T14:59:27.577-06:00Really weird about my comment!

I'm enjoying seeing the discussion on the read-a-long since it includes people that don't normally read King's books. I have a short story by King on my Kindle that I'm saving for Dewey's Readathon, Mile 81. And I'm really looking forward to his new book in November!Kate @Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220575670960466054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-77658345784331452282011-10-07T17:13:28.049-06:002011-10-07T17:13:28.049-06:00Suey, I don't know why your comment isn't ...Suey, I don't know why your comment isn't showing up but I'll reply anyway. ;) I'm on about page 350.

I'm having a hard time getting into stuff lately. <br /><br />Adams Family, Yes, books like this make me think about food storage and emergency supplies. <br /><br />Bookfool, Yes, it can be quite daunting but luckily it's very exciting. <br /><br />Lan, I trust King to explain all the "stuff" so I'm having a blast just enjoining the story.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-7170782229064224822011-10-07T16:24:00.128-06:002011-10-07T16:24:00.128-06:00This is a great book to be doing for the R.I.P Cha...This is a great book to be doing for the R.I.P Challenge. No one does suspenseful horror like King does. I hope you guys all enjoy this book. Your reactions sounds exactly like mine you Jenny. I don't like to get too bogged down thinking about all the tiny details. I just want to get on with the great read :)Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-49515963956334051312011-10-07T12:02:28.603-06:002011-10-07T12:02:28.603-06:00I so wish I could participate in this group read! ...I so wish I could participate in this group read!
