Critics Review

‘You’re sorry when it ends.’

Propulsive and entertaining. - The Age

King’s latest novel is one of his most powerful yet, with King’s moral clarity giving the book a weightiness not shared by many other suspense and terror writers. - Australian Financial Review

‘Compulsively readable. - Grazia

Stephen King s latest is probably the most beautiful mystery you will read this year…a tightly written un-put-downable mystery. - Weekend Australian

This is an action thriller that knows how to catch enriching detail without losing pace…As a work of popular fiction Under the Dome is primarily a roller-coaster ride . It offers terror, spectacle, hope, despair, lyricism and horror all skilfully deployed…the last 200 pages cry out to be read at a gulp. I ve seldom read anything more sustained. - Sydney Morning Herald

King always could do the gross out gruesome with indecent east, he is all the more powerful in this book because the horrors are not supernatural. - Sunday Age

Stephen King makes a gigantic leap back into top form with this psychological thriller…Under the Dome is the complete King package. - Herald Sun

‘King’s most purely entertaining novel in years … utterly compelling.’ - John Connolly
