Sinossi
L'errore di un computer, l'incoscienza di pochi uomini e si scatena la fine del mondo. Il morbo sfuggito a un segretissimo laboratorio semina morte e terrore. Il novantanove per cento della popolazione della terra non sopravvive all'apocalittica epidemia e per i pochi scampati c'è una guerra ancora tutta da combattere, una lotta eterna e fatale tra chi ha deciso di seguire il Bene e appoggiarsi alle fragili spalle di Mother Abagail, la veggente ultracentenaria, e chi invece ha scelto di calcare le orme di Randall, il Senza Volto, il Male, il Signore delle Tenebre.

As soon as Chinese New Year got cancelled, I knew coronavirus was serious. Then the virus spread just like viruses do in every horror novel. So much so, in fact, that my immediate first thought was not to stock up on bottled water and toilet paper, but that it's finally time to read The Stand. Na
You know what’s really scary? Getting sick while you’re reading the first part of The Stand . Just try running a fever, going through a box of tissues and guzzling the better part of a bottle of NyQuil while Stephen King describes the grisly deaths of almost every one on Earth from a superflu. On top Leggi tutto
I loved this book. I read the uncut version years back when I lived in the States, maybe in 2002. I loved everything about it except the ending. I'm a big fan of Stephen King and have 23 of his books on my shelf. Stephen King can only write a good ending to a book by chance. That said, the first 95% Leggi tutto
Another flashback Saturday and I’m holding unabridged author’s cut version which weighs in at 1141 pages. Yes I know, only holding a book that you started equals to about 5 hours training exercise is challenging thing and of course reading a book about highly contagious superflu which escaped from U Leggi tutto
“The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... and still on your feet.” One of King's greatest works - a battle between good and evil on a grand scale, with a seemingly endless cast of characters. Mankind's final folly and how both darkness and light fight over what Leggi tutto
Oh wow, it hasn't even been a year since I finished this and I'm rereading again? ******************* I'm not sure what I can say about this massive tome that hasn't been said before, but I came, I read, and I conquered. I also really enjoyed it along the way, which says a lot due to my struggle with Leggi tutto
The definitive apocalypse masterpiece, maybe until reality writes a better story. Many different characters in slowly escalating situations of despair and tragedy. With the extra King spicing of terror, torture, and horror, this makes one, or maybe the best, description of armageddon. And it´s not wo Leggi tutto
“The Stand” by Stephen King is a novel I regret not reading sooner. I knew going into this that greatness was awaiting since many readers consider this one of King’s best books ever written and let me tell you, it delivered and then some. In case you didn’t know, I have officially decided to start m Leggi tutto
