I had it in my cart at $11; it went down to $10 and I was like "Huh?" then it went down to $9 and I was like "holy crap, time to order before it goes up!"<br /><br />Something else in my cart at the same time went up $1.50, so overall my order was 50 cents lower than originally. ;-) Wacky.Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127409362906807882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-42621998108865035302009-10-18T13:56:01.135-04:002009-10-18T13:56:01.135-04:00I took the plunge and ordered Under the Dome.

This is the first of his novels that interested me. (I'm not into horror, so most of his stuff doesn't interest me.)Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127409362906807882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-61630454261436397022009-10-12T10:27:50.754-04:002009-10-12T10:27:50.754-04:00I hope to read it.

I'm usually not a big fan of reading a book that is a thousand pages long because I don't have that much free time since I have a three year old but the premise sounds cool. And I agree with you about Cell I thought the beginning of the book was so damn cool but by the end it really started to drag.<br /><br /><br />Mad Hatter,<br /><br />Have you ever read The Shining? That is Kings best book in my opinion. Salem's Lot is cool too.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485180803153354166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-64879368274658401992009-10-09T08:49:28.691-04:002009-10-09T08:49:28.691-04:00I keep getting more and more tempted to give it a ...I keep getting more and more tempted to give it a chance.The Mad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135107584625716128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-42924063280517762462009-10-09T06:54:00.676-04:002009-10-09T06:54:00.676-04:00I prefeered King's "non horror" book...I prefeered King's "non horror" books like The Green Mile, The Stand and Misery. I tried The Dark Towers but found them boring.<br />I will read Under the Dome because of Dan Simmons'comment. His Hyperion is one of my favorite SCI FI books. Under The Dome should be available in Italy by the end og november.<br /><br />Ciao,<br /><br />maarten.bouwman(at)ets.eni.it<br /><br />(you could send me yr copy when you've finished).Maartennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-28704181721777498662009-10-08T10:08:53.941-04:002009-10-08T10:08:53.941-04:00I'll be reading Under The Dome, and have alrea...I'll be reading Under The Dome, and have already pre-ordered it.<br /><br />I think you should give it a try too. Especially since I think King was back to old form with his latest novel Duma Key, maybe you should try that too.Ole A. Imsennoreply@blogger.com
