I haven't read it yet, but Stephen King's strength is in short stories so hopefully this will be good. And if not ... it's free!
And in related comic news, seems Brian K. Vaughn will be writing Under the Dome for CBS:
CBS Television has announced that Under the Dome will debut in the summer of 2013. The blockbuster tale will receive an initial 13 episode treatment produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
Originally developed at Showtime, Under the Dome has now transferred to sister station CBS and will be produced by Neal Baer, (A Gifted Man, Law & Order: SVU) Stephen King, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, and Stacey Snider.
The series writer, Brian K. Vaughan (Lost) will also function as Executive Producer with Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Unforgettable) set to direct first episode.
I'm a huge King fan and have read all of his works so I'll be tuning in for this. Under the Dome was long, but still pretty good. As usual, King's ending can sometimes leave you a little unsatisfied which is why I prefer his stories with no endings. We'll see how they do it on TV.
