The Stand (miniseries)

Pros

• My wife got me this lovely edition of The Stand [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stand) that my cat kinda already fucked up by chewing o the cover. Still good condition all things considered.
• 5. Stephen King: The Stand; 11/23/62; The Dark Tower series
• The Stand hits the apocalyptic thing for you.
• I think The Stand is great. It was the first of many King novels I've read.
• One of her favorite all time books is The Stand by Stephen King

Cons

• Parent context: It's hard to pick just one but, gun to my head, I'd go with The Stand. I've read it about 3 times and watched the miniseries with Molly Ringworld & Gary Sinise at least that many. Reply: I like the first half of The Stand...
• The Stand. The first couple hundred pages of the virus spreading is chef’s kiss in writing. Ahead of its time. Some great characters (Tom Cullen and Nick Andros) and realistic everyday villains (Harold Lauder and The Kid)
• The Stand already felt a bit outdated for me when I first tried to read it in roughly the mid-1990s. I've tried twice since then and still always couldn't get into it.
• have never been able to make it more than like 50% through The Stand.
• I'll go with the Stephen King miniseries The Stand. The first half, anyway. It's gets a little supernatural after that.
