The Stand by Stephen King

5.0

This book means so much to me. It's the epicenter for my adult reading life. It introduced me to Stephen King in the most multifaceted way that kept me bound to him for years searching for the high that this book gave me. The lengths King goes to craft his characters is truly genius. I have never loved or feared a cast more than these folks. I haven't read the book in over 7 years, but the opening scene still haunts me. Do yourself a favor and if you are going to take this journey and read the unabridged copy.
