 Jacket Blurb |
The StandImagine America devastated by a vast killer plague that moves from coast to coast. Imagine the countryside destroyed and great cities decimated as the entire population desperately and futilely seeks safety. Imagine then an even greater evil rising to threaten the survivors - and a last embattled group of men and women coming together to make a last stand against it.
Here is Stephen King's most terrifying vision, his most stirring story, his most magnificent cast of characters, his ultimate tale of good versus evil, his supreme triumph.

I'll agree completely with the second paragraph of the jacket blurb, except for the
The characters are his best as well, extremely well developed and seemingly as real as the person sitting here reading this on a computer screen. A lot of people who aren't familiar with King's work would be very surprised by the Mother Abigail character, although Flagg isn't any great stretch for him. The pawns used by both sides are just as well done as the main goodie and baddie, all people that could move in next door tomorrow.
