Larry Underwood

I finished reading The Stand a couple weeks ago, and while I was reading it, I couldn't help but picture him as this bigamist, douche bag wanna be rocker. I know thats he's role in the story as a musician, (baby can you dig your man) lol, but at times throughout the book like meeting Rita Claymore and the other women ( I can't remember there actual names) it seemed to me that was kind of the way he acted around these women. Is it just me or is there anyone else who sorta felt the same way.

He was just as you say at the onset of the story...but apparently you missed the redemption of character and soul before the end of the novel...

I felt the same way in the beginning, it was like, ok who is this guy and why is he such a d-bag. By the end of the book I actually grew to really like Larry and he totally redeemed himself IMO

Turns out he's actually a 'real nice man'.lol who would have thought so tho? except for (or maybe including (?) )Sai King. He says sometimes something happens and hes just as surprised by that...I think SK would prefer we think of him as a conduit of story writing. interesting thought eh?

I think he believed himself to be a big rock star and thus the D-Baggery.

But yea, in true Sai King fashion, he comes through in the end.

He may have started out that way, but he totally redeemed himself at the end! There was a lot more to him than you would have thought at the beginning of the story, huh? True with many of King's characters...
