. This 1978 classic converted many lukewarm Sci-Fi fans to enjoy an emotional and convincing realm to King's doomsday universe. It has been so popular that after 1990's release in hardcover ABC-TV made a mini-series to prove it's worth.This novel's tale depicts an apocalypse of a deadly virus beginning as an accidentally fatal flu strain to later a not so accidental infection of the world's population. What King is known and commended for ,besides the detailed horrors, are how the survivors wage a war representing the ultimate battle between good vs. evil.
"This book will take you through so many emotional roller-coasters and plot twists that you will at times feel dizzy. As you read you will literally FEEL some of the things the characters feel, such is King's gift for projecting emotion through words. Never Goes Where You Expect, by Cory John Stoker
Here are testimonies to how The Stand: Expanded Edition: For the First Time Complete and Uncut (Signet)
is........
Never Goes Where You Expect
by Cory John Stoker
"I've read five of Stephen King's books now... The Stand, 'Salem's Lot, The Running Man, The Long Walk, and Dreamcatcher. Each of his books 'feels' like sitting down with a good friend and listening to him tell you a story. There is a tangible feeling of Mr. King's love for his work, and a tangible feeling that he appreciates you being there to read it. "
Up there with Absalom, Absalom! and Tom Sawyer
By A Customer
"The Stand sits alone atop the hierarchy of King novels. In fact, it sits near the top of the hierarchy of all novels. Its 1200 page length could be considered a blessing except for the fact that even 1200 pages might not be enough. King has created one of the most fascinating scenarios and some of the most interesting characters ever to appear in literature, so every page is worthwhile. King's writing style is straight forward. He does not employ the range of literary techniques you will find in a work of Faulkner (but then again, who does?) or Twain, but that does not detract in the least from his ability to develop his characters to an extra ordinary extent and weave them into a fascinating story."
King's apocalyptic masterpiece of modern literature
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius"
"The Stand, in my opinion, marks Stephen King's progression from horror to literature. Consistently voted fans' favorite King novel ever since its initial publication in 1978 (although I personally consider the novel It his finest work), The Stand delivers an archetypal conflict pitting good against evil against a backdrop of civilization itself."
A brilliant novel!
By J. N. Mohlman
"The Stand is an incredible novel; perhaps one of the best I have ever read, by any author or in any genre... But what it all comes down to is this: if you're looking for a novel that will entertain you even as it makes you think, "The Stand" is for you."
