Book 2 in the 2013 Book List: The Stand

2. The Stand by Stephen King
Finished: January 28,2013
Ok, so it took a lot of persuasion for me to sit down and read this book in its entirety, but I’m glad I did it. This book fits in nicely with King’s Dark Tower series and was quite enjoyable. I tried reading this book once before a few years back but, the beginning was just a bit too graphic for me. My suggestion is if you have a weak stomach, try and muscle it out through the first few hours (or chapters) of this book and you will be glad you did. I will say this was not my favorite King book, but it was definitely worth the read. The version I read was the unrated and uncut version and I believe that it was best that way. I could not imagine any of the book being left out and still liking this book as much as I did. So, thanks RO, Ricardo, and Taylor for highly suggesting I read it. I did come away from the book with some new favorite phrases.
“You don’t tell me, I’ll tell you.”
“M,O,O,N that spells Tom Cullin, everyone knows that.”
“laws yes”
“You believe that happy crappy?”
Just a few phrases that will stay deep in the memory banks for a while after the book is finished.

I did not write enough to do this book justice, but I’ve been deathly ill and wanted to get this post out as soon as I finished the book.
Go read this book all you King lovers, and even those who don’t like King!
TaTa,
Amanda Ellen
