---
The Stand is a post-apocalyptic tale of the good and evil within people. A contagious virus wipes out the majority of the population, leaving what's left of humanity to succumb to a dark evil, or to take a stand...
I will say, it's been a long time since I've had a book take me almost 2 whole months to finish... I actually had to drag this 1400+ page monster onto a plane with me to my South Carolina vacation (I brought other books because I was optimistic!).
It is truly an epic story with simple chilling themes. I pictures all of the characters so vividly (and for the record... Molly Ringwald is not my Fran). I could see Stu and Nick so clearly in my mind. Even Harold Lauder (I can't stand him!!!), and the creepy white haired Nadine. I appreciated the sinister Dark Man, and my personal favorites: Trashcan Man and Tom Cullen!
M-O-O-N. That spells - I'm finally done with the unabridged version of this well-loved Stephen King masterpiece. A must read for die-hard King fans. I would probably stick with the abridged version unless you're up for a long haul...
Will read something different and write soon!
