I still hear the music from the ice cream truck in the old music, playing in my head every now and then. I guess I have to check out the new series! Book first, thanks OP!

Didn't read the book, but I watched the latest TV series and I thought it was pretty good.
To be fair, the Dome is over 1k pages!

Watched both movies (Village of the Damned). Was the show any good?

If you enjoy cheesy British sci-fi that takes itself very seriously, I highly recommend this book. Personally, it felt like a very drawn-out episode of Dr Who so it wasn't for me.

I thought it was pretty good. apparently there are some changes from the book that people didn't like. I, having never read the book, didn't have that issue. I'd say watch the first couple of episodes and see what you think.

Thanks! I think I will. I saw the trailer and the kids don't look the same which seems odd given the story, but perhaps it works for the show? I don't mind changes when it makes things better. Changes just for change sake, can be a little disappointing though.
