I'm just finishing this up. I was a big Stephen King fan his earliest days back in the 70s: loved Pet Sematary, Carrie, The Shining, many of his short stories, Christine, Salem's Lot. For me, The Stand & the Dark Tower series are probably the pinnacle of his work. He fell out of favor with me as an author in the 90's, though--too many words, too much "woe is me the poor tortured writer" bleck. And I never could get into much of his most recent stuff.
But I have to say, Under the Dome is right up there at the top of his best writing. Great mixture of horror, terror, dark comedy, a real human interest story. Very engaging from start to finish.
