Sinossi
È una tiepida mattina d'autunno a Chester's Mill, nel Maine, una mattina come tante altre. All'improvviso, una specie di cilindro trasparente cala sulla cittadina, tranciando in due tutto quello che si trova lungo il suo perimetro: cose, animali, persone. Come se dal cielo fosse scesa la lama di una ghigliottina invisibile. Gli aerei si schiantano contro la misteriosa, impenetrabile lastra di vetro ed esplodono in mille pezzi, l'intera area - con i suoi duemila abitanti - resta intrappolata all'interno, isolata dal resto del mondo. L'ex marine Dale Barbara, soprannominato Barbie, fa parte dell'intrepido gruppo di cittadini che vuole trovare una via di scampo prima che quella cosa che hanno chiamato la Cupola faccia fare a tutti loro una morte orribile. Al suo fianco, la proprietaria del giornale locale, un paramedico, una consigliera comunale e tre ragazzi coraggiosi. Nessuno all'esterno può aiutarli, la barriera è inaccessibile. Ma un'altra separazione, altrettanto invisibile e letale, si insinua come un gas velenoso nel microcosmo che la Cupola ha isolato: quella fra gli onesti e i malvagi. Tutti loro, buoni e cattivi, dovranno fare i conti con la Cupola stessa, un incubo da cui sembra impossibile salvarsi. Ormai il tempo rimasto è poco, anzi sta proprio finendo, come l'aria...

Completely out of the blue a clear dome appears over the town of Chester’s Mill, in Maine, of course. A plane crashes into it. A groundhog is sliced in half. A woman gardening in her yard has a hand sheared off. How did this thing get there? Who or what is responsible? How can it be removed? This is Leggi tutto

Minimizing space for maximizing massive massacre madness Very often seen, hardly ever reached It´s just King, he takes the crew, let´s the already lurking evil escalate, and the great bloodbath begins. In this case, it´s even just simply human evilness without supernatural elements, just greed, substa Leggi tutto
Stephen King makes a serious attempt at getting back to his best with this very King-ish 'terror in a small town' epic. An invisible dome suddenly appears and engulfs a small town and the surrounding area… and the terror begins, but not from demons, monsters or other fantasy horrors ...it comes from Leggi tutto

Man, I really hope no one ever tries to make me choose my favorite King-book, because I would never be able to make a decision. Every time I read one of his books, I'm absolutely blown away by the amazing writing style and by how fast the (sometimes massive amount of) pages fly by. Even though this
Here’s a nightmare scenario. A mysterious disaster occurs. The area is completely cut off from any outside help. Resources are limited. People are confused and scared. And Dick Cheney is in charge…. That terrifying idea is what makes Under the Dome one of the best books King has done. Chester’s Mill, Leggi tutto

I finished Under the Dome a few days ago. I haven't seen the mini-series, nor do I want to for a good while. That has nothing to do with the negative comments I've heard about the aforementioned adaptation and everything to do with one simple fact: I don't need to see a filmed version. Because the me Leggi tutto
