“The Stand” By Stephen King Review

First came the days of the plague. Then came the dreams. Dark dreams that warned of the coming of the dark man. The apostate of death, his worn-down boot heels tramping the night roads. The warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. His time is at hand. His empire grows in the west and the Apocalypse looms.

This review its gonna be a very unpopular review. Because this book gets a lot of good reviews from people who have read it, and I just didn’t like it at all. This book is the longest Stephen King book at the time of writing this review, and well I was excepting something more from this book.

This book took me over 3 months to read, because I just couldn’t keep my focus straight while reading this book because I was so uninterested in this book.

In my opinion this book lacks details, which really makes it or breaks it when it comes to fiction about the fall of civilisation.  

This book really started out strong but quickly it went downhill for me personally which really disappointed me. Because I was really having fun and enjoying this book in the beginning.

All of the characters in this book were very boring and uninteresting for me personally. Which really hurts to say it about a Stephen King book, because he normally writes so amazing amazing characters which of course didn’t happen in this book. 

The plot in this book is to be honest all over the place, because it follows multiple characters and most of the time I had a hard time being onboard with what was happening in this book.

This book had some good moments here and there, but it were really rare and they were surrounded by moments which really were shit in my opinion. 

The ending in this book was probably the most disappointing thing about this book. Because this whole book was building the atmosphere for this huge ending which turned out to be uninteresting and not worth 1150 pages of build up to it.

I Give This Book 1 / 5
