The Stand: Complete and Uncut

Rating:
Summary: one of the best i have ever read
Review: although it has been many years since i read "The Stand" it remains to this day, one of the best I have ever read. If you are currently involved in the "Dark Tower" series, a reference is made to Randall Flagg in "Wizard & Glass", thought you might like to know. DAVE SMITH

Summary: Without a doubt, The Stand is the very best book I've read.
Review: I have read every novel, novella, screenplay and short story that King has ever written, and while I have enjoyed them all, The Stand, especially in its uncut version, is the most wonderful of them all. The characters are so real, you can "see" them in your minds eye. The storyline grabs you from page one and doesn't let you go to page 1300+. You will consider everything else in your life an intrusion until you finish this book!!! And, you will read it over and over again - I think I've read it twenty times! I would love a sequel Mr. King, if you are reading this!!! But, if not, thanks for the greatest book I have ever read. P.S. The Dark Tower series is becoming my newest addiction.

Summary: Stories within Stories
Review: I liked the individual stories, but the novel as a whole hasn't very exciting. Generally, a OK read. I liked the TV series better.

Summary: Ho Hum
Review: I've heard of Stephen King for years but I never read any of his books because Horror books are not my cup of tea. But when I discovered he had written a book dealing with surviving after the population of earth had been reduced by almost 98 percent, I knew I had to read it. But first I read the reviews on Amazon.Com and found it appears a large number of readers loved it and an almost even number of readers hated it. I decided I would read it and make up my own mind. Had I not read the reviews I would have quit reading it around chapter 3. But I FORCED myself to finish the book. Boring boring boring. I am presently reading Swan Song and hope it deals with the subject better than King. Very disapointed.

Summary: A masterpiece, from cover to cover.
Review: If I hadn't read King's ever continuing "Dark Tower" series, I would certainly have said this is his best work, but.. I can't find it in me to say it's better. Anyway, displayed here is the most wonderful blend of characters ever created. From deep inside the evil heart of Randall Flagg, to inside the mind of Tom Cullen, you have to love it! King puts a fantastic cast of characters in an age old storyline - good vs. evil. Please don't let the size scare you, once you get into it you don't want it to ever end! One wise man once said - "You don't read The Stand, YOU CONQUER IT." And that's what you should do.

Summary: "The Best King Book You'll Ever Read"
Review: "The Stand Complete and Uncut" is an absolute masterpiece. Do not let its length scare you. You can leave that up to the contents of the novel. I would suggest investing large amounts of time into reading this novel. Prediction: You will look back at this book and know that it is the best book that you will ever read. I could be wrong...but I doubt it!

Summary: Awesome. Best King book out there
Review: I've read just about all of King's books, but this one was ahead of it's time. Possibly one of the greatest books ever written.

Summary: The best book by Stephen King
Review: Three years ago I bought this book, now after reading it over and over again (each time captivating) also by taking it on all my trips. The paperback book is very worn out and bent. If this keeps going I will have to buy anougher copy soon. If any Stephen King fan has not read it you have missed a reading experience of a lifetime.

Summary: Good versus evil? I dont know.
Review: This is one of the best novels I have ever read don,t get me wrong but its alot more then good versus evil.Its survival anyway you know how.The fact that paths to survival cross and clash is inevitable.Evil and good are subjective ,one can not be without the other. Which is illustrated poignately by the end of this wonderful novel.When "good" finally wins out you thinks its the end its not....when the walking dude comes walking onto that south american shore you begin to realize the real horror of this story.
