Bookwormjillk I liked this more when I read it as a teen I think. As an adult I thought it was too long and SK was a bit too much with some of the sidebars. It read very late 70‘s early 80‘s to me. Still King do readable but not a favorite. 10h
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 💯 could have been a short story! 9h

JenlovesJT47 I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the movie adaptation! It is one long existential crisis that fills you with dread. 8h
AllDebooks I did not like this. I found it repetitive and overlong. It certainly was tense and horrifying. I agree, @BarkingMadRead it would be better as a concise short story. 8h
5feet.of.fury I didn‘t like it either. Weird side note though, there was a 20 mile race that went from Kittery Maine to Salisbury Massachusetts and goes through the part of Rt1 NH that they were on at one point. I was there once also trying to beat an aggressive time cut off 6h

Initially read this years ago, had almost forgotten how great it was - knew I liked it, but I hadn't remembered the intensity of the boys.

It was kismet that one of my co-workers (who saw me reading) had also randomly picked this one up! So we have been discussing too!

Picture from one of the protests (felt like it belonged here)

Bookwormjillk I don‘t even know where to start! I don‘t think I‘ll ever get sick of reading and re-reading this one. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk never ever ever. Always and forever my favorite! 1mo

PaperbackPirate I wanted to join in on this one but just didn‘t have the time. Maybe later this year! 1mo
TieDyeDude I really enjoyed the graphic novel adaptation. I'm not a fan of the artist's style, but it was consistent and the characters were discernable (which isn't always the case in comics with a large cast). The overall focus was more on the Colorado crew, but it never felt rushed or lacking. I would say the biggest miss was Trashy. His story kinda dropped off after he got to Vegas, so his role in the finale felt underdeveloped. 1mo
TieDyeDude I has been about 5 years since I read The Stand for the first time. I was surprised at how much came back to me as I was doing this re-read, though I mostly forgot the Vegas finale 🤷‍♂️ Maybe in another 5 years, I'll read the uncut novel 😋 Has anyone done this on audio? (edited) 1mo
Bookwormjillk @TieDyeDude yes, I did it on audio this time. It works. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude how can they do that to poor Trashy! He‘s so important! 1mo
JessClark78 I‘m only about a hundred pages in, but this is my third or fourth time reading The Stand. I‘m always amazed at how King can write so many characters in one book. 1mo
kwmg40 I too am doing a reread, but I only got about a quarter of the way through before having to return it to the library. It's a gripping read but I had way too many books on the go already. I'll resume when I get the book again, and in the meantime, I'm really enjoying this more leisurely read, instead of the frantic page-turning experience last time, trying to find out what happens next. 1mo
bekakins I didn‘t manage to do a reread but this is one of my favourite King novels - such great character development in this one! 1mo
Roary47 I read this last year and have to say it‘s one of my favorites. 😍 1mo

While any abridged adaptation is necessarily going to come with its share of deviations, I think the team at Marvel did an excellent job at adapting this epic story. They even included a cheeky King cameo, with “Rich Bachman“, drawn to resemble King, as one of Flagg's lieutenants. #constantreader #losersclub
Having read both the original edit and this adaptation, it'll be interesting to one day read the “complete and uncut“ version.
