A review by michellekernan
The Stand by Stephen King

3.0

I think this just ok. It is very long, the longest I’ve ever read and it is definitely a commitment to finish. Nothing really “happens”, there’s not really a build up to one big event, and that’s fine just not the kind of story I typically read. There is a lot going on at all times. We follow multiple POV and there are a lot of character to keep track of. I got lost a few times and it took me a while to get familiar with who was who because we jump from character to character almost every chapter. Once I got to hook three I felt really settled in the story and ready to find out how it was going to end. I usually love a HEA but I knew I wasn’t going to get one this time. I hated the ending but I think that was the point.
