The Stand - Stephen King (book review)

Date April 22, 2008

So I finally finished it, the audio book that took forever.

I have to say, I was rather unimpressed. I can’t tell you why exactly, if it had to do with the pitiful miniseries or because ti took so long (I’m going to lean towards that though). But I just wasn’t very thrilled at the end.

I’m trying to remember why I liked it before, and why others seem to think it was such a great book. It seemed a little anticlimactic in the end, and seemed a little thin on the macabre.

I’m not going to spend a lot of time talking about characters, because he [Stephen King] does a great job of introducing and developing the characters in the book, in fact I’m afriad I’m not going to spend much time at all on it.
