Long Dong Silver In Action

The Dome

Imagine an ant and a lens magnification. Imagine a ray of sunshine through the lens. And imagine being an ant, while a child cruel handling the lens ...

It's a warm autumn morning in Chester's Mill, in Maine, a morning like any other. Suddenly, a kind of transparent cylinder falls over the town, slicing everything into two is located along the perimeter: things, animals, people. As if from heaven had come down the blade of a guillotine invisible. The planes crashing into the mysterious, impenetrable layer of glass and explode into a thousand pieces, the entire area - with its two thousand inhabitants - remains trapped, isolated from the rest of the world. The former Marine Dale Barbara, Barbie called, is part dell'intrepido group of citizens who want to find a way out before that thing called the Dome to face them all a horrible death. At his side, the owner of the local newspaper, a paramedic, a municipal councilor and three boys brave. No one outside can help, the barrier is inaccessible. But another separation, as invisible and deadly, it creeps like a poisonous gas in the microcosm that the Dome has isolated: one between the honest and the wicked. All of them, good and bad, will have to deal with the Dome itself, a nightmare from which escape seems impossible. Now the remaining time is very important thing is just ending, like the air ...

With the Dome (the dome ) Stephen King returns to the big novel, the kind of story that made him popular. In the Dome American author continues his stylistic evolution and continues to experiment but in my opinion shows that it has reached its limits. In fact, throughout the novel the reader 's impression dejavu, as each character found or if any are taken and copied from other works, is the author 's is the same of others. However, King decided to write a particular novel, not the writing style, the plot treated or to be found but as sets the scroll del'azione. The accelerator is always pressed tablet and murders, rapes, disasters of various types succeed one after the other with an ever sostenutissimo. It 'one thing and in fact wanted to be King himself who confessed in the endnotes also makes us understand how to write a great novel that will sell well today. In fact, King uses a strong staff that takes care of arranging every technical detail and does research for the writer but also personal editors who read the manuscript and suggest changes and cuts and helping the artist to always keep the bar very straight to the whirling succession of episodes. avoiding any break. In addition to this apprezzabilissimo always attempt to go forward, despite criticism of any color and from Stephen King has always looked for, changing and experimenting with styles and modes of narration, and despite the end of the story told in the dome is much appreciated, however, there are many defects in the book. In addition to the aforementioned sequence of deja vu, with the former soldier Barbie reminiscent Rambo to 'start, other things clash a bit '.
Meanwhile, the gigantic folly that emerges and many people of what should be a town a thousand or so residents, among them there are apparently dozens of psychopaths ready to rape, torture and kill with great pleasure. It is quite unlikely. Then the figure of the great bad guy, who turns out to be deputy mayor of the province a true evil empire, like Don Corleone . The figure is somewhat reminiscent of the bad guy 'of the old stories Tex Willer. The ranger Bonelli he came across in huge complottoni always warps the bad guy in office, to defeat which killed and tortured dozens of people, made attacks, forest fires and the city, all lightly. Upon arriving at the bad guy but suddenly became Tex guaranteed and never wanted to shoot in the face of the super boss, but " bring them to justice" for him to have a "fair trial ", although of course Tex was confident the verdict: " rope and soap! . But the bad guys always run away and ended up in a river or maybe hit by a train or in a landslide (maybe so they can be reused in a new story). Tex every time he stopped, took off his hat and reciting a prayer as he said: " poor, that horrible end! ". Ah, but the other 40 that you kill shot, revolvers, knives, fire, bison killers did not even incited them a horrible end? However Jim is Rennie type those great villain, good, honest citizens who are Chester's Mill? Citizens are ready to kill, cut up and bomb anyone who touches only their lawn? One at a time, uncovered the misdeeds of local politicians, ranging from the bad guy, alone, and accused him of everything, " know you do this, I know what you do, I'll say to everyone, so you will ruin . The big bad guy of course it kills them. At first one is horrified, that wicked person! And citizen naive! At the second you start to bend the mouth. When the tenth person to be alone to accuse the bad guy if they can not anymore! Of course the bad guy kills everyone in this way and covers the city of corpses, but no one notices, rather Boccalon citizens believe that the 'murderess is the' ex-soldier Barbie (which is an ex colonel)! King probably try to show the limits of democracy and naivety to believe that this will protect the people but not a very successful attempt.

There is indeed an 'air of tired in the novel, a weariness of' America, as if unable to face more problems or at least to have more certainty, not only in individuals but also in those institutions granite once, such as faith ol ' army. Again S. King proves ingenious when implementing such an atmosphere and try to describe the sentiment of this historic moment. Maybe that's why King has come to an end? Because there came to America that has always sung? For posterity, and readers, will judge.
