Reading Guide & Summary
I would like to start writing my review about The Stand Read by challenging each one of you who read this novel before and not get obsessed with it! One could not claim clearly which genre this book belong, The Stand Read deals with horror situations, but with no going in deep with it. It includes fantasy elements with a real human story events. This is the intelligence part in The Stand Read, that it includes several themes. Anyway, we can relate it to the category of post-apocalyptic horror fantasy. Writing The Stand Read was quite hard for Stephen, as it contains many characters and a complicated plot. Some characters you are not meant to like, but to sympathize with. One of the most interesting intelligence element in The Stand Read is that he gave an excellent introduction to one of the most important characters, Randall Flagg, and he used him after that in other novels without any sense of feeling bored of us, as readers. The Stand Read tells the story of a dystopian world wherein the survivors must rebuild society starting from the earliest stage. One gathering blends around an old female prophet, while another meetings to the reason for an extremist head named Randall Flagg. The contention between the powers of light and dimness permits the novel to investigate the subjects of how to fabricate a perfect society, the cyclic tirelessness of abhorrence, and the need of standing firm against it. The Stand Read was profoundly valued by artistic pundits and is viewed as probably the best novel.
