Summary: A Tough But Rewarding Read
Review: This was the first Stephen King book that I had ever read, and I first tried to read it when I was 14. Obviously this was a wrong decision. I got through as much as 100 pages of it and just couldn't get any farther. I put the book down for 2 whole years and picked it up one day after seeing a commercial for the Stand mini-series on the sci-fi channel. I'm happy to say that within a week, I had finished every last page of the book and couldn't have enjoyed it any more than I did. The whole idea of the Stand is incredible. Wiping out the human race and what happens without technology. Its a scarily plausable book, told by a master of description. A reccomendation for any teenager and every adult.

Summary: One of the most brilliant books written in any genre.
Review: This is a highly plausible book looking at not only the classic struggle of Good vs. Evil, but also a book about hope. This book was very disturbing on many levels, which marks it as truly great horror. Most disturbing was the whole idea of bioweapons destroying all of civilization. But ultimately this is a book about hope. This is shown by the fact that Stephen King gives humanity another start and that life does go on in this epic novel, despite the horrible tragedy portrayed by this book. The plot and characters are beautifully crafted, and Stephen King proved what a great author he is. The only regret I had because of this book was that there are so few authors of this caliber currently. If you consider yourself a fan of great literature, you MUST read this book.

Review: Things like this make a person wonder why there's a need for drugs. I am not a reader, but I sat down and started on this dang book, and could not put it down until I finished!

Summary: King at his greatest
Review: I've read plenty of King novels but never this one, mainly because I was afraid of the size. Well, I was very wrong to think that this book would be a drag. It was awesome. In fact, I wish it was another thousand pages.

Summary: On And On And On And On And On......
Review: This is the real Neverending Story. A real disappointment from Stephen King. His best qualities are all here: his amazing ability to create realistic characters and take us inside their minds, his way with a scary scene, his really great villains. Unfortunately, all of his worst qualities are here too. The pretentiousness, the over-writing for the sake of filling up pages, the too cute characters (If Tom Cullen had told me that M-O-O-N spelled anything again, I was going to throw the book across the room!), and a delusion that he has Something Serious To Say About The Struggle Between Good And Evil. The sad thing is that King really does have something serious to say about the struggle between good and evil. He just says it better in his shorter works like The Shining, Pet Sematary, and Dolores Claiborne. The Stand, however, is just page after empty page after empty page after empty page after empty page.

Summary: King's most overrated novel
Review: I've never understood why The Stand is held in such high regard. It is not very original; it is way too long; it is boring; the characters, for the most part, are not interesting; and it has the worst anti-climax of any of his books.

Summary: One of the 5 greatest books I've ever read.
Review: I'm not a big King fan, but this book is great. A cross between 'The Lord Of The Rings', 'The Martian Chronicles' and 'The Andromeda Strain'. I really loved the classic confrontation between good and evil. God and Satan somehow make sense to me now, and they both seem to live in the mind of Stephen King.
