Under the Dome, by Stephen King

Under the Dome by Stephen King
Scribner (a division of Simon & Schuster) ISBN 978-1-4391-4850-1

pg 124: Captain Barbara
pg 228: Lieutenant Barbara
pg 766: Lieutenant Barbara

It's highly improbable a Colonel would accidentally refer to a former Captain (one he'd just promoted to Colonel) as "Lieutenant."

pg 275
"There's the Dipper ... Cassiopeia ... the Great Bear.

the Dipper and the Great Bear are the same constellation (ursa Major). Granted, there's also a "little dipper," but when one leaves off the "big" or "little" designation one is referring to the big one.

pg 367
"Li'l Walter," the woman in the bloody jeans said again

she's wearing sweatpants, not jeans (see page 358)

pg 427
she had flushed all of her pills -- not just the methadone but a few last Oxycontin

methadone is liquid, not pill.

pg 429
A plastic hose was clamped to a valve on the back of tanker.

typo, left out the article "the" ...back of the tanker.

pg 433
He looked up and saw the Big Dipper, the Great Bear, Orion.

again, the big Dipper and the Great Bear are the same.
also, it's unlikely he'd see the Dipper and Orion at the same time. See: http://www.pixheaven.net/photo_us.php?nom=080927_7093-109traits

pg 513
"How about four counts of murder..."

at this time Big Jim doesn't know there are exactly four bodies.

pg 646
His good feeling... lasted until he pushed the flush-lever.

by now he should be out of water, just like his neighbors are.

pg 664
"Hell, his own son could have used it."

reads like he's referring to Coggins' son (Coggins doesn't have a son).

pg 815
...and then there was bark.

typo, "then there was a bark," or "then there was barking."

pg 854
every almost seat in the Town Hall was taken.

typo, "almost every," not "every almost."

pg 915
"Andy punched Jessie in the nose when Jessie wouldn't lend Andy his art-gum eraser."

if spelling is Jessie, it would be "her eraser." Male spelling with same pronunciation is Jesse.

pg 1025
"Was it a malfunction?" "No, it did not."

question should be "did it malfunction?" or the reply should be "No it was not."
