My suggestion is to try something more accessible (re: shorter and more favorably received).

Try "Night Shift," his first collection of short stories.

You picked one of the worst books he's ever written - in my opinion.

Thank you both. Unfortunately I asked around if the Dome is worth reading before I bought it (in another thread here) and those opinions were in favour, so I followed. I understand tastes are different so nobody is to blame. And I don't like horror stories so IT is out (I saw the film, brrr)

I will give another go at 63/22/11 (here translated as Dallas'63) when it comes out as ebook (only in print for the moment)
