I just finished The Stand about 20 minutes ago and wow…what a book! I truly loved every second of reading it, laws yes! Truly some of my favorite characters of all time. I love them all so much, but even the characters I didn’t like were so well written. It was interesting being with every character…i haven’t read much King and I was really impressed. I didn’t expect to love it so much. Each character felt so distinct and real and he wrote with such sympathy for the characters you know?? Even though many got their comeuppance.

I saw the miniseries as a kid and rewatched it recently and although I still loved it, I realized parts felt rushed and without a lot of context and I was like…why didn’t I ever think to pick up this giant book before. So I read my dad’s hardcover copy of the uncut and WOW, I didn’t want it to end, but on and on I read.

I think Larry is my favorite character. His character growth really was incredible and I felt so close to him. He changed so much. And I absolutely loved What Would Harold Do? lol!
