3.5 stars. Not much that can be said that hasn't already. Could have trimmed down the length, whereas I wanted even more pages from The Stand

Phew. Every year I try read the longest book on my TBR. And I have conquered it this year! That was epic. Very similar to The Stand. At times gruesome and horrific, at times touching and hopeful.
