Under the Dome

Despite what King claims in the afterword to be a lot of trimming, this book is still overlong. The characters are really well developed, which is typical for King (though Chester's Mill is FULL UP on terrible men) - and once the book gets to its climax everything is really riveting. But it took a loooong time to get there.

Raul Esparza does a great job reading the audiobook, too. He gives it a real relaxed storyteller vibe, and he does a lot accents for Mainers. Not sure how accurate they are, but he's definitely consistent.
