The Stand

There are hundreds of reviews that will pick apart the bones of this book so read them if you want. For me, Stephen King is one of the greatest storytellers of all time and this is his greatest book. Second time I have read this. This time I read the un-cut version and at 1420 pages its long, laws yes. If you are put off by the page count go for the standard version, I don't think you lose any of the magic, M-O-O-N spells magic. Just read it.
