moftasa reviewed The Stand by Stephen King
Review of 'The Stand' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This is the first Stephen King novel I read. It is quite an enormous book with very good character development and loads of suspense. I liked all the travels that the characters had to make, that was enjoyable and the first half of the book was excellent. That's about it and if all of King's novels are like that it is probably going to be my last. As soon as the book took a sharp turn into parapsychology, hypnosis and telepathy I stopped enjoying it and I was only reading it to know what will happen to the protagonists. I don't have anything to add to what others here have said in regards to the racist parts in the book, problems in the female characters and the two-dimensional and comical representation of evil characters.
