On a beautiful fall day in Chester's mIll, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one can fathom what this barrier is and when--or if--it will go away. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens. Agains them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing--even murder--to hold the reins of power, and his sone, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. (back cover)
This is a great story, lots of angles, lots of terrain to cover. I didn't get the overarching moral message, but I like the journey and progression. I would not say this is a page-turner because that is an over-used phrase. I looked forward to returning to the book on every day that I could.
I look forward to the next Stephen King book that I will read.
