Minha maior crítica é que somos apresentados a diversos personagens, mas ao final não sabemos o real destino de muitos deles. Também retiraria a última cena do livro que a meu ver foi desnecessaria.
Bom, em resumo, do meu ponto de vista, se Stephen King é conhecido por não ter bons finais para suas obras eu excluíria The stand dessa lista. O final do conflito foi o melhor possível para a situação que se configurou na narrativa. Colocaria The stand na lista de "Bons finais" de Stephen King.

Use of antiblack slurs especially near the beginning. Descriptions of dead bodies and varying states of decay all throughout. Major themes of Christianity but it's of the folksy Americana flavor rather than institutional. A character overdoses on drugs, quite possibly on purpose. As is what seems to be a common trope in King's stories, a fat character is described as unhygienic, petty to the point of childishness, and obsessed with sex, then later becomes a major antagonist out of jealousy. Oddly repetitive, almost dehumanizing descriptions of the eyes of the only Asian character, who is Chinese. A character uses a gun toalylentz's review against another edition
