Under the Dome

I experienced this book in audio format. (about 34 hours). I enjoyed the story, speculating all the way through to the end on just what exactly the people of Chester's Mill, Maine were going through. The psychology of the neighbors, I think he got just right. Watching the story unfold is a little like watching a captive ant hill, except you have the benefit of understanding what they think say and do.

As I understand it this is his longest story, but I found myself continuing to stay interested, unlike my first reading of The Stand where I had to put it down to trade off for other books every few hundred pages.
