postmodernblues 's review for:

The Stand by Stephen King
3.5
adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Sorry to The Stand superfans, but this really has no business being as long as it is.

Always weird reading a book that takes place where you live. Like, hey! That house full of dead bodies is just down the street!
