Check out the Amazon reviews - they can do it much better than I ever could.
One of my favourite books of all time. I'm not normally a King fan but The Stand is just an outstanding piece of fiction.

Agree, must read The Stand again - may even try the uncut version (1400+ pages!!). But McCammon's "Swan Song" still shades it for me....

The Traitor Queen by Trudi Canavan.
I've got Paul Lake's book next in the pile.

Just started Cogan's Trade by George V Higgins, about the underworld hunt for a gang of thieves who robbed a Mob-protected poker game in 1970s Boston.
The film version is called Killing Them Softly and is out on September 21, starring Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta. Supposed to be very good.

Just finished "The wind through the keyhole" Kings new Dark Tower novel.
I've finally got round to starting "The Stand". Already hooked!

1984. About half way through it and loving it but one thing is doing my head in. How did the party members and the proles both become so seperated?

Ive read a few by Stephen King, and always enjoy them until the end, which Ive found to be a let down. Without spoiling it - does the Stand ending cut the mustard?
If so its 1pence + postage on Amazon
