Synopsis
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death.
And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides -- or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail -- and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.
Publishers Weekly
Survivors of a chemical weapon called superflu confront pure evil in this updated and even more massive version of King's 1978 saga. ``The extra 400 or so pages . . . make King's best novel better still,'' said PW. `` A new beginning adds verisimilitude to an already frighteningly believable story, while a new ending opens up possibilities for a sequel."

Still Reading and Loving Itby Diamond21

11/25/2009: I'm 21 and I still go into the teen section to pick out books. My mom recommended me this book because she read it back in the 1960s. I am now hooked on Stephen King. This is an amazing book. I read it every night before I go to sleep. I've tried not reading it for a day, but it's such a gripping book it's hard to pass it up. It's long, but it's worth every minute of your time.
I Also Recommend: Life is Funny, Someone Like You, Green Mile: The Complete Serial Novel, Cell, Skinned (Gripping Trilogy Series #1).

11/07/2009: The Stand is one of the first King books that I read and one of the best. The first few pages had me hooked. A must for King fans and those who love reading a classic struggle between good and evil.
