What an amazing book! While it is huge, at over 1150 pages, the character development and background is second to none. I am not even a Stephen King fan but he sure does know how to introduce and flesh out his characters. The story progresses rapidly as well, especially considering the book length. I definitely recommend this book. Much more interesting pace that similar sized books like Lord of the Rings, although now the story is dated since it was set in the 1990s.

I think that this might be the best written book of all time. It has lots and lots of characters that are all introduced at the right time and pace, and you become one with them. Because of its sheer length, you know the characters and who they are as people, not just words on a piece of paper. Follow that up with the best Stephen king villain (IMO) and you have one intense burner of a story that could've gone horribly wrong had it not been in kings hands.

This book has been recommended so many times, I have lost count. I am not a Stephen King fan per se, but I am always interested in how authors unfold their tales and what devices they use to build interest. That said, it took one more mention of the book from an old friend to make me add it to my list. Sadly I only have a few minutes each day since I am otherwise tending to my very young children, but on page 408 at the moment and I am enjoying the book for what it is. It's Stephen King. It may not top the list for literary fiction - if you want to get technical, but he's a good storyteller. So far, I would recommend it.

I am only commenting on the condition of the book.I think the write up was miss leading. I could have chosen others. I started this book years ago. I liked the story, but never finished it. It is a good story, but that is to be expected from Stephen King.
This is considered by many to be Stephen King's magnum opus. I've read this twice, once 10 years ago and again during the Covid-19 pandemic because WHY NOT. It is a very long read just fyi.
It doesn't really matter at this point how well the story is written. Unfortunately , the book is too large ( over 1,400 pages ) is more than a little excessive!I did not know that this was even an option when I ordered the book. I thought that I was ordering one like I had read in the past. Around 700 pages....It's IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO COMFORTABLY HOLD THIS THING TO READ IT!
Upon receiving the the book, I noticed that the flaps on the packaging were not secured. My book couldve fallen out of the package during any point of the trip to my house!! Next time, put some tape on the packaging so there isnt a risk of losing a product that I purchased!! Ontop of that, some of my books pages are bent and I havent even turned a page. All Ive done is pick up the book and inspect it. Im honestly not surprised that I have bent pages on my BRAND NEW book after seeing the packaging. I am extremely disappointed in the handling of my product and I WILL NOT be purchasing from this store again.
Im a constant reader of Steven King but I truly almost put him down after he re-released The Stand touting it as the original uncut version. That was just wasnt so. I was so excited when the uncut version came out...I couldnt wait. But to my horror no pun intended, King made multiple references to things that simply did not exist in 1978 when the Stand was originally released. Spuds MacKenzie? Freddy Krueger? AIDS? I could go on and on. So clearly he did the re-write after and passed it of as the original. I was so mad! Ive since forgiven my all time favorite writer for just trying to make a buck but this is the original Stand! And by far his true masterpiece that he simply should have left alone.
This is my favourite King book, a close second would be "It". Epic apocalyptic tale about the "flu" which wipes out most of humanity. Horrific enough on its own and always relevant. There follows a battle between good and evil for survival. My review isn't great but this book is EPIC!! Stephen King sure knows how to hit a raw nerve. I'm reading it again now and for me it's always different and this version is the full book the author intended in the first place and it's all the better for that! LOVE IT!
I was interested to read this book because it was about a pandemic (among other things). But it is far too long and there was too much extraneous information and a lot of going backwards and forwards that became confusing. I read that Stephen King actually made the book longer following its first publication, and republished. I would have preferred the shorter version, I think. I admit I stopped reading about three quarters of the way through, though. Couldn't finish it. I've never read any other of Stephen King's books, so perhaps this was not a good one to start with.
