An epic story that, even though it drags on a bit too long in the middle, kept me riveted all the way through.

I used to read a lot of Stephen king in my youth, had moved on now as not a massive king fan as I think he says in 10 pages what others can say in 2. However the stand is one of my favourite books of all time, coming in at number 2. Can only be described as a classic.

GIRL. This is the gateway to becoming a Stephen King stan.

Such a long book! But a really good one. The best of King's ability to write in such a vivid way that you're left physically uncomfortable, with a wonderfully sprawling plot where you can see all the pieces moving but don't know quite where they're going. Lots of fun!
