Summary: absolute must read
Review: King's best. I first read The Stand in the summer of 1982 & have read it every summer since then. It's just something you have to do. Now, if he would only release the next Dark Tower.....

Summary: Among the living
Review: After you read thiss book you can't stay passive, either you hate it or love it (like I do). This novel has characters you care about (Tom Cullen is my absolute favourite) and scenes that leave you breathlesss."The Stand" is a fascinating book and one should read it no matter what anyone says, the book will speak of herself in a best possible way.

Summary: Fun to read as long as you have lots of time to read
Review: As an eleven year old, this book seemed rather intimidating. It was a great read and I would recommend it to any body as lng as you have plenty of time to read it. It is One-Hundred and Forty-One pages long and can get a little tedious. However, it is really fun to read. It took me four hours to finish but it was worth it. This is among my favorites of SK horror and i recommend it to YOU.

Summary: Not a Novel, more like an Epic
Review: This book cannot be described as just another King novel. Thats like calling Gone With The Wind another romantic paperback. The Stand is so complex, with its numerous plots and subplots, and deep, complex characters. It is truly one of the best SAGAS ever written. A must read for everyone!!!!

Summary: If you read any King book, read this one!
Review: After reading The Stand, i completely understand why its a love/hate response from readers. An extremely long book filled with a lot of character dialog and development. But that's what makes this book truly a must-read. I've read many of King's novels, but in none does he reach the level of intimacy that he does in The Stand. I found myself envisioning what these people looked like, and seeing through their eyes. Aside from the intriguing characters such as the Trashcan Man and Harold, this book has a plot that keeps you coming back for more. You'll find yourself putting the book down, and ten minutes later needing to continue to see where the story and its characters go.

Summary: A pop-culture rewrite of The Lord of the Rings
Review: Stephen King is no J.R.R. Tolkien, nor should he try to be.I gave this book one star because Amazon does not offer an option for zero. One final note: Read chapter 25 of So Long and Thanks For All the Fish by Douglas Adams, and you'll have a pretty good understanding of King's writing style. :-)

Summary: King best just got better!
Review: Well, King has done it again! "The Stand" is the ultimate do-or-die battle between Good and Evil. The characters are great and the mood of the story is even better. This "Special Edition" totally measures King's imagination. This book is my favorite, and don't forget to read it...in the dark.

Summary: Essentially the best book ever written
Review: People can complain about the length of this novel all they want, all I have to say is it's too short! (1143 pages) Stephen King is a fantastic storyteller. (Warning...if you have a summer cold, don't read this book, it will make you paranoid!). King fleshes out his characters and creates a world that you really believe exists. You will find yourself wishing you hadn't read it yet--I re-read it at least once a year. The scary thing is that this could conceivably happen. What would you do if it did? It makes you think. And for those of you who saw the mini-series (there was no way it could compare, but nice try), "Don't Fear the Reaper" will always invoke them memory of Campion starting the whole thing.
Rating:
Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: The Stand is by far the best book that I have ever read! The characters are very real and It keeps your attention up to the very end of the 1141 pages. Do your self a favor, read this book! The only problem is that the writing gets a little sloppy at the end of the book (Like in many other King Novels that I have read), but overall, it is GREAT!!!
