The Stand: Complete and Uncut Audiobook

" Decided to get this after watching the movie adaptation. Obviously....this was way better. LOVED the character history - Stephen King is incredibly talented in creating people/personalities. I will listen again at some time for sure. "

" I am not a king fan, but this book is ok. Music references and humour reduces listener boredom of hearing about pandemic disease. As usual,King is “wordy “ . If you are not familiar with viruses and how they spread King provides a “lay person’s” background. It will keep you away from crowded places. Mask wearing is optional. The storyline is good (god) versus evil (devils). The good people are redeemed and will start the USA again in Maine or someplace in the western areas. The Stand is good beach reading with a warm Coors beer. "

" Written as if you already new the characters. As if each one was someone you knew. Somehow you where related to each one of them. Steven has a way of pulling you into the ugly truth & beauty of the human soul. "

" As one of the first books I ever read by Stephen King I have to say that it’s good and full of juicy side stories and tangents, but it’s missing a little something…Maybe the problem is me: I always want more. He really lets us make up our minds on this one, on the whole good vs evil thing. His story is an itty bitty piece of a much larger puzzle and I would have wanted more on the “world” scale. "

" Hands down my favorite book of all time. Was fun to revisit this after 20 years in an audio version. The narrator does an excellent job. "

" THRILLING! This was not only my first audiobook on this site but my first Stephen King book. I was hooked immediately and have purchased several others just from the description. None of them have disappointed. With a 40 minute one way commute to work, the time flies by and I find myself sitting in the parking lot just to listen to one more track. I am HOOKED! "

" Grover Gardner's reading of The Stand was the first audiobook I ever listened to! I was just taken away. With his narration I could see the characters in my mind. He is a joy to listen to. I have heard this book 4 times now! I hope to hear more from him in the future. "

" It's showing its age by now - but what a grand and sweeping gesture on King's part. "

" This still endures as my favourite Stephen King novel. "

" One of the best post-apocalyptic novels there is. Period. "

" Stephen king ......one of the greatest writers of characters ever....fact "

" Best book I have ever read.... Twice. "

" I started the book off with the flu and finished it with a completely different flu. Amazing read! It had a dry spell for maybe 100 pages but overall, unputdownable! "

" Talk about an epic novel. I liked it but didn't really think it was as awesome as everyone else did. "

" What a great book!! Very long but was like reading a trilogy in one book. Well worth the read. I'm a bit of a germ freak so I had a hard time reading it at first. Especially since I had a cold. Amazing book!! "

" This still ranks as the scariest book I have ever read. "

" One of my favorite books from this author. Even though it is a large book, it held my interest. Great read. "

" Probably the book that made me a reader maaaaany years ago. "

" In my top ten of all times. "

" Cause it was Stephen King I couldn't give it the 5 - but I couldn't put this down! "

" So the only reason I only gave it three stars instead of 4 is that it SCARED ME. It was a completely engaging read and kept me turning the pages...even though holy crap there are a lot of them. My first Stephen King book. "

" Apocalyptic tale of man kinds near extinction at the hands of Captain Trips - a man made super virus. Survivors are hurled into a classic battle of Good vs Evil. A riveting story that won't let itself be put down. "

" I still love this book so, so much. Yes, there is a magical negro (and really, can it be a Stephen King novel without one?) but it's still so, so good after all this time. "

" Really long "

" In my humble opinion, Stephen King's best work. "

" Go read "The Passage" and "The Twelve." King is a pulp writer, at best. A heretic I might be, but I don't get what people see in him. I look at the time I spent reading this as time wasted. "

" First read in 1980 or early 80's and have re-read several times since. "

" While incredibly long, this is a clear, exciting foray into the subject of biological horror for Stephen King. I managed to finish this in only a couple weeks. The main characters are kept to a minimum, while the threat of society caving in on itself remains high throughout. "

" I'm not good with writing reviews. There's not many a Stephen King book I can put back down after picking it up. This was no different. I've read it over and over at different points in life. Very drawing. "

" As usual Stephen King writes a great book overall in his style; slow at first but then a powerhouse ending. I would say by far one of the best endings in a book i've read thus far. "

" Omigod, this is the best book I ever read...I read this when I was still in High School and it has stuck with me my whole life! "

" I have read this book 7 or 8 times. I love it. It was my summer reader every year until school got too demanding. No more school and I have The Stand fever!!! :) "

" In it's original version this book made a huge impact on me as a teenager in the '80s. Rereading it now? It's long, Law's knows it's long! M-O-O-N spells disappointing. "

" My fave all time King novel. "
