The Stand by Stephen King
3.0
wow, I finally finished this monstrosity of a book. With that being said, I really think this story would’ve been better if it was longer AND!! split up into maybe 3 separate books.
There were some parts that were really interesting and I really enjoyed the amount of detail given to them. And there were some parts that I felt like didn’t get enough explanation or detail. There was specifically a part right before everyone congregated in Boulder where I just felt like things were rushed. A few pretty important characters were introduced during this time but were given very little in the way of introduction so I had a harder time telling them all apart and connecting to them compared to some of the characters introduced earlier on.
There were also some parts that felt like they went on for too long and bogged down the story (like Trashcan Man’s chapters). These parts are the reason that reading this book sometimes felt more like a chore to me. But overall, i did really enjoy this story and the characters.
Howeeeverr… I would definitely have enjoyed everything more if the characters (besides Trashcan Man) had a little more time to shine and the daunting amount of pages in this one book were broken up into a trilogy and some of the chapters got chopped and…
3.5/5
