Lukáš Janáč asked this question about Swan Song:

How much is it similar to King's The Stand? Is it comparable (better)? Which book inspired which? If I enjoyed The Stand, will I enjoy this one (won't it be repetitive) ?

Kira I read The Stand in the 90s. I finished Swan Song this morning. Both are worth reading. The Stand is more character-driven, Swan Song more plot-driven…moreI read The Stand in the 90s. I finished Swan Song this morning. Both are worth reading. The Stand is more character-driven, Swan Song more plot-driven. I'm not much of a re-reader, but if I had to choose one to read again, it would be The Stand. I was glad to finish Swan Song, and wish a little more had been at stake for the characters when the final clash came. (less)
