"Under The Dome" CBS TV Series Based on King Novel

We'll be seeing a commercial for it during the Superbowl. It's a 13 episode, supposedly mini, series based on a Stephen King novel.
Anyone know anything about the novel? This looks like it could be interesting not only for the King connection but its being adapted by Brian K Vaughn and Speilberg is a producer.

I hated the book. Some people loved it but I am not a fan.
Simpsons did it!

Not sure about this one.
I think Stephen King wrote this book to pay for a yacht or a summer home in Wallachia or something. It's very shallow. Has cookie cutter characters. Pretty damn predictable. There is a brutal rape (that probably won't make the series). It will piss off the Tea Party because of the way King writes about a certain faction in the town. So probably most of TD will hate it for that reason alone.

I liked the book FWIW.
I'll be watching. Although it should be on HBO or Showtime because the book is kinda dirty. They'll have to edit a lot of shite out.
But this means that they prolly won't follow the book too closely.

It’s very exciting to take the idea of the book and possibly expand it… The novel only covers a short period of time. The idea of the TV series is not to extended it for a week, but months… It’s like the book in a lot of ways. It takes different directions from the book in other ways and that’s good.

Liked the book, but man did he King the frick out of the ending.
And Brian K Vaughn is absolutely brilliant. No better writer in the biz right now.
