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.

Summary: How could anyone think it was boring?
Review: I loved the book, but I must admit I am amazed that anyone could read it more than once. It is far too heavy a read. Seems there is no middleground in opinion; readers either love it or hate it. I didn't find it boring at all...I was fascinated by the good v. evil storyline. Now, Wizards and Glass was a huge disappointment.

Summary: Why I was put on Earth...
Review: Wow. That's it. Wow. That one word describes The Stand. I was 14 when I read it. I easily scarfed the 1000+ pages in two weeks. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed. When the book ended, I didn't wan't to let the characters go, because I had been with them on every step of their journey. Simply said, the greatest book I've ever read. If you liked this novel, check out Chricton's The Andromeda Strain. For another of King's good works pick up The Bachman Books or The Talisman. So if you haven't read the Stand, go get it RIGHT NOW!

Summary: GET THE REGULAR VERSION
Review: Unless you're a fan of King's overembellishment, this release is a complete waste of time. If you're a die-hard King fan, I highly recommend it. If you're a casual reader of his works (like me), who is constantly annoyed by the extra 300 pages that always seem to come after the point any other writer would stop writing, just get the regular version

Summary: Timeless masterpiece!
Review: This defines thrillers. The Stand continues to haunt me...since 1978 I have read and re-read this book in abridged and uncut versions at least 10 times! Fabulous! A MUST READ!
