It took me just under two months to get though, weaving in other books.
The cast of characters was huge but King does a great job of helping you to stay on top of who’s who as you get deeper into the book.
So many interesting themes and questions are raised with this, and while the scope is large, it all fits! Family, death, violence, grief, survival, sociology, community, politics, law and order, religion, war, and more. It’s all in here.
It is all about a global pandemic, so if you’re feeling like it’s too close to home, then pass. I kept on thinking about it how terrifying the beginning segments would have been if I’d started reading it a year earlier.

Minha maior crítica é que somos apresentados a diversos personagens, mas ao final não sabemos o real destino de muitos deles. Também retiraria a última cena do livro que a meu ver foi desnecessaria.
Bom, em resumo, do meu ponto de vista, se Stephen King é conhecido por não ter bons finais para suas obras eu excluíria The stand dessa lista. O final do conflito foi o melhor possível para a situação que se configurou na narrativa. Colocaria The stand na lista de "Bons finais" de Stephen King.

This will be the last Stephen King book I'm tempted to read. He's gross and I'm done with him.
