The same can be said for 'Under The Dome.'<br/><br/>As epic in size and scope as 'The Stand', it is not nearly as compelling.  The characters are all the same one...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74625895">more...</a>]]></body>

Dale Peck has read my other reviews of his work on Goodreads and I read this one, only because he told me in an email it had just been released.
