When i first started reading Under the Dome is pretty much was the same as the TV show but there are actually big differences. One of the main characters in the story for the TV series dies within one chapter of them being introduced in the book which really caught me off guard because I wasn't expecting that at all. Junior the boy who killed the character was talking to them but he has really bad headaches and was very agitated and when he got angry he killed them over pretty much nothing.
Other than some very obvious differences the characters in the book and TV series are very much alike in how they act. Big Jim is the antagonist and always wants to control everyone and Barbie the protagonist wants to help people. While Barbie is helping people there is a struggle for control over the town between Big Jim and Barbie. Most authoritarian figures were also not in town when the dome fell, the fire department was doing a training exercise in a neighboring town, the city council was gone in a neighboring town as well. The Cheif of police touched the dome and his peacemaker exploded leaving the town with no one to run it.
