Some years back, Stephen King decided he had told all the stories he wanted to tell and he said he would stop writing novels.

It turned out he was wrong, and I'm glad he was. While there are some stories he tells that are overly familiar and reminiscent of earlier, better novels, he has turned out a few in recent years that have been very impressive. I enjoyed both "Cell" and "Duma Key" a lot, but neither of them really compares to his newest work, "Under the Dome."

It's another of the thousand-page plus books King does so well
