Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!
Review: This is the best book EVER!!! Ive read many books and none compare to this! From the beginning to the end, Nothing can touch THE STAND. I wish he would write a sequel to it, telling about the remaning good guys and how they choose to live out the rest of their lives.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stephen King at his best!!!
Review: This book was action packed all the way through.King spread all the action within over 1000 pages.If you're looking for horror,this is the book to read!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: ZZZZzzzzzzzzz....
Review: I confess to being a King fan, god knows there are enough of us about so it isn't shameful, but in this case I find myself having to say....... Oi! Stephen, NO! The book is overlong,(Apparently it was originally less of a handful but Stephen decided not to leave well enough alone) and, although it at first seems promising with a good initial premise, it rapidly descends into an overextended yawn-fest. Do we really need to know the history and motivations of every sub-character who has even a peripheral involvement in the main plot? After it's promising start I was disappointed to discover that the book dissolves into a cliched battle between good and evil. Stephen can do much better than this, If you don't believe me try reading The Shining or Christine.

Summary: Slurry
Review: Like a bad bout of diarrhoea this book never seems to end. Luckily at over a thousand pages it's handy if you have diarrhoea. I can't believe anyone hurled it 18 metres, the best my friends and I could manage was 10.5 It's also handy for getting a good nights sleep. Just take two pages and wake up in the morning. I always find that when reading about characters I wish would just die. I wish I knew which book all these five-star "best book EVER" people have read as I'd go and buy it. It can't be The Stand can it ? Surely not.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is King's second best book ever (after "It").
Review: This is a page turner. It's one of the best books ever

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the three best books I ever read!
Review: This was the book Stephen King was born to write. It is the ultimate good vs. evil. It was compelling and impossible to put down. I'm not even a Stephen King fan, his books tend to be too dark for me..this one is his absolute best!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book exemplifies the struggle between good and evil.
Review: This book exemplifies the struggle between good and evil. Unfortunately, good triumphs once again. To come to this conclusion, the book could have been a few hundred pages shorter. Stephen King, you're tapped, why can't you come up with a different ending. The world is changing, we can handle it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book ever written
Review: This book is 100% better than the first version of the stand. If you have already read the original version, then this uncut version will answer all the questions you had about each charachter. If you have never read the stand before, this will be the best and most haunting book that you have ever read!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So far, I can't put it down.
Review: I just got the book yesterday, and, so far, it has fascinated me with the maze of sub-plots and different characters. When you read about one character, you basically forget all the other ones exist. When you think you have it figured out that someone is going to be a main character, they are killed, therefore keeping your interest. I am off to read some more now.
