For the third article, I decided to talk about a book (or rather two books because there is a sequel) written by a very well-know American author. Some of you have already written articles about his books. I obviously speak about Stephen King and I’m going to share with you one of my favourite book entitled Under the dome. You probably know this title because there is also a TV series, adapted from these books, whose name is the same as the books.
Now I have to sum up the story:
The scene is set in a little town whose name is Chester’s Mill. This town is located in the Maine in the USA. One day, the town is suddenly encircled by a giant dome that cut the communication with the exterior, the other side of the world. That’s the beginning of bad things because of the absolute power of Jim Rennie. Indeed Jim was the first deputy in Chester Mill (before the dome) and he takes advantage of the apparition of the dome to govern the town.
I really loved this book because there are a lot of characters which are all different. They are very good exploited thanks to many details. The main character is named Dale Barbara but his nickname is Barbie and that’s my favourite character because of his bravery. Indeed he dares to struggle against Jim Rennie.
I’ve also seen the first season of the series and even if it’s quite different it’s great!
See you soon!
Your article makes me want to read it Manon! I only heard about the serie and Stephen King as well, but I didn’t know it was a book at first… I thought that he just had the ideas for the TV serie. But since he wrote the books, I will hurry to find the first one! 😉 What did you think about the serie?
Aha thanks Rachel ;)! Yes a lot of people only heard about the series! I think it’s pretty bad because as you said it’s a novel at first and to my mind this book deserves to have a bigger success. If you want I can send you the first book one day! I only watched the first season and as I said at the end of my article (rhooo Rachel you have to be more attentive) even if it’s quite different it’s great! The characters are not like I have imagined but a series doesn’t have to be like in my head aha! If one day you watch it tells me your impressions!
I have never read this book but I Watch the serie TV and I love it ! But I think with your article I will start reading it ! I have heard that the book is very different that the serie, as you said it… 🙂
