Bookwormjillk I don‘t even know where to start! I don‘t think I‘ll ever get sick of reading and re-reading this one. 4d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk never ever ever. Always and forever my favorite! 4d

PaperbackPirate I wanted to join in on this one but just didn‘t have the time. Maybe later this year! 4d

TieDyeDude I really enjoyed the graphic novel adaptation. I'm not a fan of the artist's style, but it was consistent and the characters were discernable (which isn't always the case in comics with a large cast). The overall focus was more on the Colorado crew, but it never felt rushed or lacking. I would say the biggest miss was Trashy. His story kinda dropped off after he got to Vegas, so his role in the finale felt underdeveloped. 4d

TieDyeDude I has been about 5 years since I read The Stand for the first time. I was surprised at how much came back to me as I was doing this re-read, though I mostly forgot the Vegas finale 🤷‍♂️ Maybe in another 5 years, I'll read the uncut novel 😋 Has anyone done this on audio? (edited) 4d

Bookwormjillk @TieDyeDude yes, I did it on audio this time. It works. 4d

BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude how can they do that to poor Trashy! He‘s so important! 4d

JessClark78 I‘m only about a hundred pages in, but this is my third or fourth time reading The Stand. I‘m always amazed at how King can write so many characters in one book. 4d

kwmg40 I too am doing a reread, but I only got about a quarter of the way through before having to return it to the library. It's a gripping read but I had way too many books on the go already. I'll resume when I get the book again, and in the meantime, I'm really enjoying this more leisurely read, instead of the frantic page-turning experience last time, trying to find out what happens next. 4d

bekakins I didn‘t manage to do a reread but this is one of my favourite King novels - such great character development in this one! 4d

Roary47 I read this last year and have to say it‘s one of my favorites. 😍 20h

This is one of those books I can read every year or so and I get something different from it every time. Looking forward to discussing with the #LosersClub later this month.

BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead My all time fave, and I totally agree. I pick something new up every time! 5d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead reading these books in order I'm amazed at how early in his career he wrote some of (IMO) best books. 5d

It‘s okay, Steve. They can‘t all be winners. The cover is rad. 🤷‍♀️

The Stand Vol. 6: The Night Has Come | Stephen King, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

pick

While any abridged adaptation is necessarily going to come with its share of deviations, I think the team at Marvel did an excellent job at adapting this epic story. They even included a cheeky King cameo, with “Rich Bachman“, drawn to resemble King, as one of Flagg's lieutenants. #constantreader #losersclub
Having read both the original edit and this adaptation, it'll be interesting to one day read the “complete and uncut“ version.
