Available from:About this book:
- When a man escapes from a biological testing facility, he sets in motion a deadly domino effect, spreading a mutated strain of the flu that will wipe out 99 percent of humanity within a few weeks. The survivors who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge--Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious "Dark Man", who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between them--and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.

Have read his books a long time - his style is as recognizable to me as an old friend's voice.

I read the book, it's not as good as IT or Pet Semetary in my opinion. Some people love the Stand, but I would've been fine if I didn't read it.
This isn't a typical stephen king book. Some people LOVE it. I think it was good but got bored at times.
Gunslinger is my fav King books/series.

I will say that the ending in general was a bit anticlimactic, but overall when the suspense was high it has me hooked.
For reference, the uncut version of the book took me around 36 hours to read at 233~ words per minute pace.
