Stephen King The Stand Review

[killer92173]

That book you hold is the original version, which contains around 800 pages. The Complete and Uncut edition contains over 1400 pages, which changes the setting to more modern, which is in the 1990s

Plus, The Stand is more of a Post-Apocalyptic Horror/FANTASY novel. Just to let you know.

[TheNightshaden]

I'm currently reading the Complete and Uncut edition of "The Stand" and as it is long(1,439 pages) it's VERY good!

[tillerman002]

Gewwd and Evuul.

[MrWildboy94]

How come you could find the rarest version of the book, but not the uncut (everywhere, practically) version? I'd give a hand up to have your copy, man hahah. I just decided yesterday to take a break from the uncut because I was so damn bored.

[DarkHorror49]

My book is 1,300 pages -__- I'm currently on page 1,089 it's quite a good book.

[Victormene]

you couldn't take seriously this books, it sucks... the hand of god kill all the "villains"? what the fuck. Stephen king will be forgotten, like somerset maugham was. The dark tower is even worse.

[happeedaze1]

I love this book too...it is my favorite...

[dltanner99]

Horror novel see video book trailer

[donniedarkodevotte]

This is my favorite book of all time. I've read it at least five times. You need to read Swan by Robert R. McCammon. It concerns the end of the world, good vs evil, and it's almost as great as The Stand is. Once I read Swan Song, I started reading every Robert R. McCammon book I could get my hands on. He's a great author.

[Sophietteus]

@GilstrapStudiosAlt , Actually it is more like 1200 pages. Why were you so surprised about it?

[StephenKingFan100]

Have you read The Complete & Uncut Version?

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

Stephen King

Under the Dome!!!

[horrorboy1994]

A great book. Law, yes.

[GilstrapStudiosAlt]

my grandma has the uncut version,and it's over 1000 pages,i was like WTF?!

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

After all the sex drugs and rock n roll, reading The Stand, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy are still some of my best memories from being a dumbshit teenager.

If you like this book, I would strongly recommend Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer winning “The Road"

[sockembopers12]

@Blackboilingrobotoil: Wait...so does that mean you think The Stand is still good, or are you saying that you just used to think that when you were a dumbshit teenager? Because The Road, really, is nothing in comparison.

[stansmithy]

@Blackboilingrobotoil yes, 2 books I have read over and over....



[killer92173]

@Blackboilingrobotoil The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien is one of the inspirations of Stephen King to write The Stand. He said he wanted to make a fantasy like The Lord of the Rings, but with "an American setting".

[ScoobySnack29]

does anyone know why the cover features a guy in perhaps primitive clothing with a sword fighting perhaps Randall Flagg with a Grim Reaper's blade? 'Cause no one ever straight out fought him in the book so to me it seems to have little significance with the book. I'm confused. Could someone help me? or do I have to text KGB and pay a dollar?

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

@ScoobySnack29 The figures on the cover only REPRESENT good vs. evil.

[zulok1337]

@ScoobySnack29 i think it depicts the bringer of plague from the bible fighting the last survivors of the human race, but that's just how i see it.

[JAYRASH123]

i am reading it now too on on page 340 i have the uncut eddition i couldnt find the original

[jediknight328]

I have the uncut addition but I haven't started it even though I want to because it's over 1000 pages. I like The Gunslinger the best.

[cazmaestro]

1327 to be exact, im reading it now

[grifter011]

You couldn´t find it in yourself to express a single coherent thought on a book you read.

[Xavierrex3]

i love The Stand,

BUT UNDER THE DOME IS MY FAVORITE STEPHEN KING BOOK YET! =D

[XiluvmichaeljacksonX]

HILLBILLLY MUCH

[peanutboy2pro]

=] =]

[MrElwray24]

[UnionKid15]

Cool review dude, thanks for this..!!

[MrMegamurph]

good choice in authors mate, check out HP lovecraft.

one of stephen kings major influences.

lot more horror.

lot more outthere.

better, in alot of ways.

heavy english tho.

[Ilovewienerdogs]

I have the first printing version of the unabriged edition it's cover is orange and a has a blonde haired guy [good] and a black crow thing [evil] fighting each other.

[peanutboy2pro]

its the same as the one i have here, except that it looks a bit different.

[Mythtern1]

I just finished reading it today, honestly, it's the best book I have ever read, I suggest everyone read it.

[TemplarReturns]

Man, i want that hardcover with that cover on it. Where did you get that hardcover peanutboy? Checked out at the library? At a thrift store?

[peanutboy2pro]

well i bought the hardback copy at a garage sale a long time ago, i was just getting into reading the stephen king books. its not the uncut though. it's 823 pages. oh but i think you might could find a cheap copy on ebay maybe. i looked on their not to long ago and there were a few copies. :D

[cellur111]

i watched the movie i hate readi9ng but yea i have read some stephen king books like the stand and dont askk how long that took me..LOL

[Chakotay024]

i have a paper back that is only 1100 + but the type is small. If you haven't read the uncut, you haven't really read the Stand!

[peanutboy2pro]

yeah i have heard that the uncut version is best. i really guess this was the best because i haven't read the uncut yet.

[Mythtern1]

does your copy have a hooded guy on horseback on the cover?

[Chakotay024]

yeah.

[Mythtern1]

YAY, MINE TOO!!! XD

[ZeldaMarioHarry8]

MINE TOO!!!! :D

[wildvenisson]

i read the extended version and its 1327 pages. it's the full story with no cuts in it, its amazing.

[haloaddict436]

I got the uncut edition... HUGE book... But I'm gonna read it anyway... Have you read "It" ???

[peanutboy2pro]

No I haven't read that one. I've read "The Stand", "The Shining", "Pet Sematary", "Misery" and "Needful Things"

[wildvenisson]

i read the extended book, took me a while but afterwards i realised that its practically 3 books in one due to the part structure. Still definately in my top 3 books of all time .

[lepergnome7000]

I just got me the uncut edition of ebay, the version i have 1421 pages long, ill probably start reading it once i finish Salems lot.

[TemplarReturns]

How is it 1421? Was that the hardcover? I purchased the paperback and mine registers at 1141 and IS the complete and uncut edition.

[lepergnome7000]

No its paperback, i dont know why its so much longer but its definitly 1421, its pretty short, could be the reason, and its got a bunch of illustrations but not 300 pages.

[TemplarReturns]

Send me a link to the book from a webpage that looks exactly like yours does. The copy i have is the complete and uncut but i wonder why yours is longer.

[lepergnome7000]

ehhh..ok, ill msg it to ya when i find it...

[harrybo743]

nice review, I'd only recently finished reading it and thought it was brilliant and the ending was fantastic, not what i expected. i read the uncut version of it instead and thought it was very well written. For a long book, it keeps you interested throughout the whole thing.

[Funklink]

Great book. Good review. I also like that that you have the original cover like I do.

[peanutboy2pro]

It is a fantastic book. Thanks.

[MetalMassacre45]

im gonna read "the stand" after i finish "IT"

[HarryEtTubMan]

This book is AMAZING.

[autisitic7]

Read something scary. I don't believe young people reads large number of pages just to get to the main idea.

Isaac

[peanutboy2pro]

Well I love The Stand, its great.

[HarryEtTubMan]

LOL what??? I'm only 22 years old and I LOVE Stephen King novels.

[peanutboy2pro]

I'm 14 myself.

[autisitic7]

This book review is not exciting. Try reading a science fiction book that many young people are reading. Blue Crystal in Six Days War.
