A review by whatthefawkes
The Stand by Stephen King

5.0

I feel like I've spent 20 years reading this book but what an unbelievable bloody read it was! Some bits dragged like hell as you'd expect from a book of its size, but the rest... absolutely fantastic.

There were some characters in this that I would have loved to punch in the face (mainly Harold Lauder) and others that I wanted to hug and never let go (Kojak, Glen Bateman, Stu Redman, Tom Cullen and Dayna Jurgens, the ULTIMATE badass).

I am now super pumped to see the new adaptation in December. Hello, Alexander Skarsgard, I am ready!
