pineconek 's review for:

The Stand by Stephen King
5.0

I think I need to formally apologize to Stephen King - until a few months ago, I thought he was a sensationalist, overhyped, drug store cheap paperback kind of writer. And then I actually read a book of his, and they've all proven me wrong.

The stand is the 4th (5th) book of his I read and I'm in absolute awe of how well he crafts characters. The pacing is superb. The stakes are high. I cared about this book so much.
