KING STEPHEN : STAND (Signet)

kicks ass. his best book right next to the dark tower series. slow in the first 500 pages, but it flies in the second.

Never read any book by anybody that is as good as this one this book is awesome Its may be a big thick 1000 plus pages but it is a real gem of a read.

An American Classic!

Anti-climactic climax, but really good description. Classic Stephen King.

Proud owner of a first edition!

The Stand, by Stephen King is an amazing book. I read the original edition, not the longer expanded edition. I love this book

Awesome book!

Quite possibly my favorite Stephen King novel. Lengthy, but you'll wind up savoring every page.

Following the apocalyptic collapse of society after the world is devastated by the "super-flu", a band of gritty survivors must battle not only the aftershocks of the calamity, but must also find a way to defeat a growing evil faction which wants to take over the decimated world. It is a world of horrors and what's even worse, it just might fall under the control of a man (?) that appears to be the devil personified. Perhaps the best of Stephen King's earlier works; but it had a very unsatisfying ending.   hide
