The Stand by Stephen King
3.0

I just... don't know?

Over the years I have read a few of King's his books and I often enjoy them. And then I decided it was time to tackle this monster. But it's a bit underwhelming? The first 30 chapters orso, it is hard to get attached to a character, because most that we meet just die. And then when we do get invested, they start dying as well. Also for some reason the man to woman ratio is just off, and statistically if that was off it would be the other way around. But the end was not as spectacular as I would have hoped.
