Most guessable one yet from McFadden. If youve read Poe you know exactly what happened. Main character easily hatable. And the prolog was actually angering.

The Stand is one of the greatest pieces of literature I've ever read. Such a gripping story and lovable characters. Such a dark story holds so much hope. The themes of religion and good versus evil are flawlessly executed. My second time through and probably not my last.
