Good to have you back!
I agree with you about
Under the Dome. First, it seemed like King jammed 1000 pages into a 600 page novel. Second, I got the impression he just churned this one out for the Christmas market without anywhere near the work or thought that went into such excellent books as
The Stand or
It.
I understand he is releasing one for the Summer market. Hopefully it'll be better
