Stephen King
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 sides - or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail - 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 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 heard The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are listening to 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.

The most impressive thing about this novel in my opinion is the fact that there was no point in the 48 hour novel that felt like the story was stalled or lagging. The plot kept moving forward; slowly, patiently, but with great skill and expertise. I was especially fascinated by the themes of civilization and religion; I found myself deconstructing and analyzing many of my own thoughts on these topics. I've always been of the opinion that Stephen King is a genius, but if I'd had any doubts, this book would have put them to rest.
SO: Deep, thoughtful, chilling, entertaining, fun... there's the good news.
Don't worry - there's no "bad" news, per se.. more like mediocre. For such a famous, long anticipated tome such as this, you would think it would be insured that the narration was second to none; and that's not how I found it. It was fine, and it didn't ruin the book; I still recommend this wholeheartedly. Mr. Gardner did a good job creating the different voices of the characters, and for the most part kept them straight, which I'm sure was no small task. Still, I've experienced enough spectacular readers that this was a let down. Finally, and most egregious, Mr. Gardner would (from time to time) mispronounce a word that had no business being mispronounced. I was really surprised these errors could have made it through to the finished product.
Still, if hearing saguaro pronounced with a hard "G" doesn't set your nerves on edge, you'll be fine; and even if it does, the performance as a whole is not bad.
Overall, I really, really enjoyed this one. Thanks, Mr. King.
Excellent Story, Acceptable Narrator

What made the experience of listening to The Stand the most enjoyable?
I'm so excited to finally have The Stand on Audio and I got it for free with my credits. I have been wanting to purchase it for awhile but the price of the audiobook was over a hundred dollars even used. Thank you Audible I listen at work and this book will make my day enjoyable and I can share it with my friends. One of the best Stephen King books of all time. Definitely a classic!What can I say!!

It's funny to listen to something from the early 80's with ears that have come from the same time but have been trained to live in 2019. Sometimes this would lend a chuckle to my listen.. While some other times my eyes practically rolled out of my head. It's the later that would really bring into focus for me some of the issues I had forgotten or just plain didn't notice back then. Specifically how King writes the women characters will likely turn off some listeners.
Story wise, it's bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side it wrestles with a compelling and interesting hypothetical post apocalyptic world which honestly caused me to fantasize. Thanks in large part to Gardner, many of the male characters are absolutely endearing and charming; which unfortunately also highlights how poorly conceived the female characters are. Despite some short comings, the Stand, especially as performed by Gardner, delivers an entertaining story that falls just a little short in the later chapters.
This version of the book is an elongated "director's cut" err "author's cut" which may have been more than was needed for an already loooong tale. But I worked a hemp farm over a summer while listening and it gave me a whole lot of listening entertainment value that helped the days of mindless labor pass by quickly.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it is a compelling work that I have read over and over. It is a solid story, not my all time favorite from King but close.Who was your favorite character and why?
Stu, his honesty, drive and love make me admire him.Did Grover Gardner do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
He did an good job, but is not my favorite. John Slattery did a great job on Duma Key. But I would have loved to hear Gary Sinise do The Stand.If you could take any character from The Stand out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Stu or Mother Abigail!Great Story
