Overall, I think The Stand might be his most beloved novel, though.

It's a landmark tale for the tower, Roland told king to intertwine all his books to the tower, ka speaks and the wind blows. Sorry if I said that wrong

Just 11 days?! It's gonna take me A LOT longer to read this monster of a book.

Although I can understand how King found these chapters necessary to prove people have the potential to re-form a democracy in even the most dire circumstances.

Overall I give it 8 out of 10 stars. I can see why many consider it to be King's magnum opus.

One of the best SK novel

She was the direct contrast to RF who was a little too evil thus the stand.

One you start you are going to find yourself turning pages faster than you thought possible; the story just carries you away!!

I loved Mother Abigail. Strummin and thanking God for the prunes that did the trick. Loved the book.

Me too! I re-read it yet again just weeks ago and found I had downloaded the original uncut version - was so surprised at the bits I had missed before, especially the really dark stuff...............about Trash etc.

I read it when it first came out and though Ive read hundreds of books since, it remains up there for me!

The Talisman came a close second though.

For some reason that REALLY makes me cross I cant get into the Dark Tower series, Ive read the first two but just cant keep up the momentum............arrrrgh - I just cant empathise with the character................whats wrong with me! Ive read everything else and loved it.
