I saw this with my mom on the weekend and I loved it. It was creepy and interesting at the same time. Currently reading Under the Dome can't wait to finish it and start reading The Stand.

I love The Stand. A masterpiece. What more can I say? The book is genius and a work of art. The movie is amazing and I love nothing better than a rainy day that I can watch the entire movie. My daughters are 11 & 12 and know the movie by heart. Some may say they shouldn't watch it but a movie that shows how good always wins is something I want my daughters to know about. LOVE IT!!!

I've never read another book with the backstory first. Character development is unparalled. The book was great and the movie did not disappoint. Way to go Steve!
