Book 49: Under the Dome by Stephen King

A very solid book by the king. A mysterious dome/forcefield appears over top of a small town in Maine. The people go appropriately crazy and the good guys end up battling the bad guys to decide who will run the town. The military cannot get inside to affect anything that is going on. There were some memorable characters like Scarecrow Joe and Junior. Not as good as Duma Key, but at least it was more in line with King's older stuff and not his "literary" stuff. I stayed up way past my bedtime several nights to get through it. I couldn't stop reading - which is a good thing.
