Though his scenarios aren’t always plausible in strictest terms, King’s imagination, as always, yields a most satisfying yarn. It’s a fun and clear-headed fury, though. This is King humming at the height of his powers, cackling at human folly, taking childish glee in the gross-out and all the while spinning a modern fable that asks some serious questions without sounding preachy. If the fury left a few excessive typos and a dog’s name that mistakenly changes on occasion, well, these are (mostly) forgivable sins. After all, few of us can resist such nightmares and dreamscapes. King says he started "Under the Dome" in 1976 but then "crept away from it with my tail between my legs. . . . I was terrified of screwing it up." Fortunately, he found the confidence to return to this daunting story because the result is one of his most powerful novels ever. The King book that is most readily brought to mind by “Under the Dome” isn’t an earlier large-scale apocalyptic fantasy like “It” or “The Stand”; it’s “On Writing,” the instructive autobiographical gem that cast light on how Mr. King’s creative mind works. In the spirit of “On Writing,” “Under the Dome” takes a lucid, commonsense approach that keeps it tight and energetic from start to finish. Hard as this thing is to hoist, it’s even harder to put down. 1,100 pages of localized apocalypse from an author whose continued and slightly frenzied commerce with his muse has been one of the more enthralling spectacles in American literature.

Under the Dome té el millor i el pitjor dels llibres d'SK: a favor:
- un repartiment coral de personatges complexos que s'entrellacen amb habilitat en un univers tancat que és la cúpula que cobreix sobtadament el petit poble de Chester's Mill
En contra:
- tocs sentimentals gratuïts i nyonyos que haurien de donar profunditat a la història però no aporten res
- l'extensissima durada del llibre (que tot i això només es fa pesat a partir de les tres quartes parts)
- I SOBRETOT: un final totalment decebedor que no està en absolut a l'altura de la resta del llibre i que fa TOTALMENT DESACONSELLABLE emprendre un viatge tan llarg per tan poca recompensa. ( )
