WAY, WAY too long and BORING. Can't imagine who justifes 1,100 pages. Maybe the guy who wrote "Hillbilly Elegy." Who has some brilliant writing, and isn't shoving politics down your throat. And knows how to work.

This was the best post-apocalypse book I've ever read. Yes, it is quite long, but Stephen King delivers a huge cast of fully developed characters, as well as a large number of supporting characters, that embark on a sprawling physical and…

This was the uncut edition, which I thought, was way too long. It was a good read though. Very good character development.

Had to call it quits on this book 50 pages in. The premise is cool and the characters (the white ones at least) are well fleshed out, but I just can't stomach how often the N word is used. I understand King uses it to get across that…

I had been thinking about reading this for years. It is such an iconic book with big themes like the sacrifice of the individual for the greater good of the group and hierarchy in society, but especially the theme of good vs. evil. There…

I've read two books by King. I don't remember them at all. However, this book came up on a couple of best of lists, so I thought I'd give it a try. I gave up after 15 pages. Boring. Predictable. Dated. The thought of reading all…

"The present world is the result of a very contagious virus with a 99.4% death rate. Even those who are immune to the virus die from heartache or the inability to defend themselves. Humans are near extinction. The book follows the story of…

This was the first book I've ever read from Stephen King, maybe it was a little too topical due to the COVID pandemic. It is excellent. King juggles the perspectives of twenty different characters and you will care about every one of them.…

I read this book to fulfil the goal read a best seller from the 1990's. It was scary it spots. it was funny in spots. it was sad in spots. In short it was a really good book. of course reading it during coronovirus makes it a little more…

Gosh I hate being that person but this was one of the worst books I’ve read in a long time. I stuck it through to the end, hoping that it would take a turn but it was a horrific slog, in all honesty. I never seem to have much luck with…

This is one of the most uninteresting books I have ever read. I don't like giving up on a read once I've started, but this was pure torture. I just couldn't tolerate the bland narrrative and cursing beyond Chapter 11 and gave up.

One of the best books ever. Have read this 5 times and will again.

Released in 1978, King's apocalyptic novel, even at a whopping 1200-plus pages, had been trimmed by 150,000 words. This is the restored version published in 1990. It is back to almost 1200 pages. There is much more character…

Perhaps not the most beginner-friendly Stephen King book, but it is one of his most memorable works. There are characters and moments in this book that will stick with you for years after you put it down.

This is a book that hits closer to home in 2020. One of King's greatest books!

The Dark Tower series was meant to be King's Lord of the Rings. But I think he captures the feeling better here, where large scale events are the set up for a pretty clear-cut good vs. evil story. This is my favorite King novel. The 1,200…

The best word I can think of to describe this book is "epic". It's absolutely huge, and it tells the story of the world almost ending. It has good and evil, love and hatred, sickness and health, life and death (mostly death), sex, drugs,…

If you only ever read one Stephen King book, this should be it. A must read for anyone who likes the post-apocalyptic genre.

This is my favorite Stephen King book by far! I listened to it on Overdrive instead of reading it, and it took a while, but it was so amazing, I was sad when it was over. Great writing and a wonderful story.

It took me five weeks to read this sucker and I'm extremely glad I did! The Dome and The Stand are my favorites now. I prefer the uncut versions. There is sexual stuff, drug stuff, and overall I wouldn't suggest it for young readers…
