Review of 'Under the Dome' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Would have been 5 stars except for the ending. Reminds me of Neal Stephenson - going great guns, awesome story, then it's all of a sudden over.

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)
