What Do The Rubber Bracelets Mean

The Dome of Stephen King


about a month ago, when it was released the new book by master Stephen King, I went to a bookstore and saw him there with other titles, was a piece of book of 1130 pages would be mine, and without thinking twice picked up the book and bought it (€ 29.90) a bit pricey I thought, but after a few days I discovered that it had been worthwhile disbursement made. I
weeks without starting it, first, for lack of time, second, why he was finishing another, a short story called " After Last night the ec er "and third, why I had to psych to start with one of his longest novels ever published.

finally found the right moment to start it and I did, was a Friday particular night on 4 June (I was not too good, sore throat and felt I was getting cold, but that was the ideal excuse to be a weekend at home without any pressure and overtime).

And the beginning of the novel was extremely devastating (the best I've read of King) I could not stop until page 133, about 6 chapters at once, but is felt I could not leave (I did not care or neck pain) was fully absorbed with the King makes terrible description of the fall of the dome in a small town near Maine (Chester's Mills).
During that weekend and had read nearly 400 pages, immersed in their long descriptions of both events or accidents due to mysterious dome or the colorful characters that live in the village (perhaps too many) but you end up catch them love or hate, both the good and the most bastards (and more than one).


For 3 weeks I've been reading (especially at night) the book , I was hooked from the start and almost without being able to put aside ..... has a long story but not tiring, because you always want to know more about what will happen in the village, on the outcome of his characters and the overall development of events.

And finally on Sunday June 20th I had finished the work, almost hoping that no completion and sad about not being able to continue investigating more about the end of the dome. An ending that does not convince too much (I expected more and I think the dome event tailor becomes a great McGuffin created by the author to focus more on the characters of the people) but that does not tarnish his global experience . In short, a unique event very rewarding to read and enjoy this summer.

Greetings!
