Rating: Summary: the best Review: I am a Stephen King fan and this is the best book i have ever read nothing else can even come close to it. I couldn't put it down and read it only a few days.
Rating: Summary: IT LIVED UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS!!! Review: Yet another of King's great stories. Again the characters were relatable, the story was devestating, and the describtions were awesome. If you read one Stephen King book, read this one. It's flawless
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Book Review: My Dad gave me "The Stand" for Christmas when I was in 9th grade (in 1992). It took me all two weeks of C-mas break to read it, but it was worth it! This is Steven King's best work ever. I loved learning about every single character in the book--they hopes and dreams and their motivations to taking the different paths that they did. The way King wove together the lives of so many characters is truly amazing and I have never seen its equal. Read this book, you will be so glad you did! Incedentally, I am now a junior in college but every December during C-mas break, I pick up the book and read it again. As I grow older, I continue to see something new in the story every time! It is that good!
Rating: Summary: PERFECTION Review: this is the best book ever written. it is destined to be an americain literary classic. it is stephen king's best, and it inspired me to buy all his other stuff. EXCELLENT!!!!!
Rating: Summary: The Concept Makes The Book! Review: The two best works in Stephen King's career are "The Stand" and "It." The secret to "It" was a simple concept and absolutely fantastic writing. But in the "Stand," we see a bit of the opposite. You have King's usual above average characterization, description, and cadence. What comes through in "The Stand" is the fantastic concept of global devestation, told only as he can. Not only is the main plot masterful, but the subplots, and the ways that King takes advantage of the initial premise are nothing short on genius. Ordinary compliments fail do Stephen King justice. The same goes for his creations, especially "The Stand"!!
Rating: Summary: The Best Book in the World Review: Okay, this book proves that a book can be long but still enjoyable. I loved the book, and when I finished I felt kinda sad that I had finished it. Infact I am going to reread it sometime soon. The Stand was the first book that has actually scared me alittle, in fact I even had a dream that I was Nadine Cross from the book. I have read several other Stephen King novels, (Pet Cematary, Christine, Rose Madder, etc...) but this one has been the best. You Can even tell my e-mail address has been impacted by the book!
Rating: 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: 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: Summary: yayayayayayayayayayay!!!!!! Review: it twas pretty spiff
Rating: 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.
