The Stand

Wow. This was very, very, very good. One of my very favorite King books I've read so far.

The world building, the character development, and the slow build up were quite a ride. This was such an interesting and intriguing premise and mixture of a medical thriller with the flu epidemic, good vs evil, and a study on society as a whole and how we rebuild. While also gory and very disturbing at parts, it didn't have the hopelessness like “Under the Dome” and for that, I am very grateful.

Looks like I am definitely not done going through Stephen King's works.
