The unabridged version
Classic battle of good and evil.
Having read this book a few years ago it was really interesting to hear the parts that were not included in the version I read. The characters and their backgrounds really added to the story.
It does go for over 50 hours and I really enjoyed Grover Gardner reading it.

My favourite so far
I loved this. A few slow spots but to be expected with something so long and detailed, but I was completely vested in the characters and gripped by the story. A few questions left unanswered but not enough to sway my overall enjoyment of the book.

Not usually into Stephen King
He's way too scary for me! But The Stand isn't horror. It's a post-apocalyptic feast. I powered through it in less than a month (which I think is good, considering its length) and I want more. The narrator was AWESOME.

The Stand is still the best SK novel
Fantastic story, one I’ve read many many times. Beautifully voiced by Grover Gardner, it was a pleasure to listen to.

Steven King should become a writer.
I liked the extended version a lot, fleshed out the characters much more, added more depth to an already deep story. this guy should take up writing for a living!

An apocalypse classic
This is probably Stephen King’s greatest work. A massive story about a virus set free and almost killing everyone on Earth. There is good vs evil, with lots of biblical story telling.

Immersive
I loved the book. I loved the mini series. The Audible version is great as I could listen to it while working in the garden.
Listening to it while in a worldwide lockdown due to pandemic was a little freaky.

Immersive indulgence
Steven King produces the MacDonalds of books. Compelling story, shallow characters, a guilty addictive indulgence. Great narrator. 47 hours of listening pleasure to get you through the longest journeys. Thoroughly recommended.
