First off today is my birthday WOOOHOOO!!!, but other big news I finally started a blog book series that I will probably have five parts to, why is this you may ask? Well its because I'm reading The Stand by Stephen King, which of course means that it is 1153 pages long. Wow.
Now onto the actual blog, The Stand is about a disease which will inevitably kill off 99.4% of the population not just in the little town where the story takes place but the entire world. So those who survive have to choose the path of order or chaos, civilization or the dark ages. Unfortunately I am not up to that part in the story and only know about the post-apocalyptic part of this book because of the blurb. As of now I have just been introduced to all the main characters Stu, Franny, and the others which I cannot remember as of now. All of the main characters have been exposed to the virus so I can only assume that they are going to die. Not all of them but most.
As of now I deeply enjoy the book. I enjoy its realism as it really shows social issues happening today on paper, it covers the topic of abortion, family, mistrust, hatred, love, and how all of the feelings and issues go by in the blink of an eye. Also the power of the situation, as Franny is forced to make a choice that may involve the destruction of her child.
So I like the plot so far and am deeply intrigued by The Stand and will continue reading it until I am finally finished with all One Thousand One hundred and Fifty Three pages of it excluding the Forward. See you next week!
