The Stand By Stephen King

in my opinion this is the best Stephen king book ever written

LONG. Really big but interesting. I had to take a break in between. I got the big Bible sized version of this. But when I returned it rolled perfectly right to the ending. A lot of good characters and apocalyptic stuff.

Loved the concept of the book. Had me glued to the book, anxious to see what was gonna happen next. Fabulous character development. Told everyone to read it, once I finished it.

Believable and lovable characters, my favourites being Glen Bateman of the good side, and Julie Lawry of the evil side. Definitely my favourite of King's work and worth the long read. Check out more of my reviews at BookSnakeReviews

I had never read anything by King before but this book crawled into my mind, laid eggs, nurtured the hatchlings and then blew everything up with a suicide bomb. Craziness.

This book was unnecessarily vulgar in spots and drug on and on in spots. I recommend saving yourself some time and emotional scars and just watch the 6-hour PG13 movie.

Is one of my top 5 faves of all time. This is a stephen king cult classic, which is a must read for any avid King fan. It is a masterpiece which touches upon just how fragile civilisation is and how easy it can be taken away from us.

I have read this book 8 times - 4 times for the first edition, and 4 for the 2nd. The first time I read it I had to keep looking up to make sure what was happening in the book wasn't happening around me! I truly believe this is the very best book King has written, and I would recommend to everyone!

The first book that I ever read TWICE!!
