Zu langatmig, es passiert nix. Ich warte noch auf "Das letzte Gefecht"! ( ) finally read this cement block sized book and wow. this was amazing as expected. just some backstory about me and this book was that i tried to read this book as a teenager but it was too hard for me at the time but i was always fascinated with its story. but now after all this time i finally did it and damn was this book amazing. i wont go over everything as there is a ton to talk about but i will say that the most impressive part of this book for me was pacing was really good for a book with such a high page count. i was expecting it to have a few slow moments but almost nothing felt like a drag to get through and was very entertaining. love all the characters and situations that took place with many different emotions. but probably my favorite characters if i had to pick 3 would be Nick, Tom and Stu. anyways its considered as a classic for a reason and im happy to have finally read it after all this time Auch beim zweiten Lesen hat es mich wieder total gepackt! Manch einer findet unnötige Längen in dem Buch - ich habe jeden einzelnen Satz genossen! Ich mag es sehr, wie geruhsam Stephen King die einzelnen Fäden zusammenführt. Wie sich ganz langsam erst ein größeres Bild ergibt. Dazu beigetragen hat sicher auch David Nathan, der mir große Teile des Buches vorgelesen hat. I'd read The Stand over 30 years ago and remembered virtually nothing, save for about three pages early on where we see the virus jumping from person to person, country to country. THAT was scary (little did I know...). This version is 400 pages longer than the original and the immediate impact of the virus (and its contagiousness) wasn't nearly as impactful. Still, this is an excellent book that was hard to put down. There's no one who writes like King; his dialogue is nearly perfect and the characters are pretty well rounded. Well worth it. By far my favorite King novel. This is the second time I’ve read this, the first being back ‘08. It was even better the second time and I caught things I either missed or glossed over the first. I love the way King weaves multiple themes and ideals together that make not just an interesting story but one that makes the reader actually think.
In short (well, not so short), this is the book that has everything - adventure, romance, prophecy, allegory, satire, fantasy, realism, apocalypse, etc., etc. Even Roger Rabbit gets mentioned. ''The Stand'' does have some great moments and some great lines... But the overall effect is more oppressive than imposing.

HTML:This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sidesâ??or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagailâ??and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man. In 1978 Stephen King published The Stand, the novel that is now considered to be one of his finest works. But as it was first published, The Stand was incomplete, since more than 150,000 words had been cut from the original manuscript. Now Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil has been restored to its entirety. The Stand : The Complete And Uncut Edition includes more than five hundred pages of material previously deleted, along with new material that King added as he reworked the manuscript for a new generation. It gives us new characters and endows familiar ones with new depths. It has a new beginning and a new ending. What emerges is a gripping work with the scope and moral complexity of a true epic. For hundreds of thousands of fans who read The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are reading The Stand for the first time will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.
