The Stand by Stephen King is a classic story of good versus evil. It starts with the spreading of a virus from a government research facility that goes on to ravage the population of the United States - I can't recall other continents being mentioned - save for a few survivors.The survivors are then ...

Stephen King, The Stand leads up to things bit by bit and just gets better and better. It really makes you thing about what people could do with one tube of super flu that breaks and one man who spreads it to everybody without knowing it.

I first read the Stand when I was in hospital for a few days and the book lady came round. Up until that point I had never read any of his books, but I thought I would give this a try and from that moment on I was a massive Stephen King fan - to the extent I now have every book he has ever written. ...

As Mr. King knows, The Stand is the favorite book of his loyal readers. I am one of them. I first read this book when it came out in 80? I forget the year. The people that put it down for the religious aspects must be devil worshipers. Evil loses. Just like in the real world in the end.

After the masterpiece that was Wizard and Glass, he screwed up Wolves of the Calla, too, so King is NOT perfect, in-case you were wondering what I ...

Stephen King, The Stand - Definitely the most engrossing book you will probably ever read. What life would be like if only a handful of people survived a huge epidemic. The imagery in the book, the characters are all fantastic. This book is hard to put down and if you didn't have respect for King be ...

Stephen King, The Stand - Synopsis:
"First came the days of the plague. Then came the dreams. Dark dreams that warned of the coming of the dark man. The apostate of death, his worn-down boot heels tramping the night roads. The warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. His time is at hand. Hi ...

I have read lots of Stephen King's books but this one is the best by far. I first read it about 8 years ago and have read it at least 7 times since. All of the characters in the book Frannie, Harold, Stu, Mother Abigail, Trashcan to name a few have excellent personalities and you really feel that ...
