In a post-plague world, two seemingly supernatural powers arise. A good, and an evil. Everyone has a choice, and as their numbers rise, so does the conflict. Only one power can remain and rule.

The Stand is a very lengthy book, and that was certainly part of the appeal. The Stand was very good in my opinion, because there were a lot of plot twists, and the characters were all well-written. It certainly was a bit sad, because there are many deaths, but that's another thing that makes it great.

If you like good-vs-evil type conflicts, violence, and suspense - and if you don't mind reading 1,000+ pages - then you would love The Stand by Stephen King.
