I'm already a little ways into it (having started it toward the end of last month). The mini-series according to what I'd found on IMDB is going to run through the month of July and into August. 13 episodes beginning June 24th...and running on Monday nights.
I need to re-read this one before the mini series!

I'm reading it again to prepare for the mini series. My neighbor is annoyed that I won't give him any details, and he's too lazy to actually read the book.
Your neighbor wants details, that's too funny! No Cliff Notes!
Mod
LOL No giving him details. He needs to read the book!
I offered to let him borrow my copy, but so far he's refused. LOL
I read this last year, but is this mini series a US thing? I think it will work really well shown like that but I suppose over here in the UK we won't get to see it for a long time.

I'm just getting started again, but it's a page turner. Curious how this will do as a mini series! I'd like to see them re-do The Stand.
I bet you the miniseries will end up on Netflix, David.The first episode of the miniseries was pretty good - totally different look for the characters than I imagined. Thought "Big Jim" Rennie would be more like J.T. Walsh in "Pleasantville" than Dean Norris from Breaking Bad - but so far, so good. "Junior" is already coming off as a believable psycho, and "Barbie" is pretty bad-ass.

Not a fan of their Barbie. I thought he seemed like he was supposed to be older, smarter, not to mention he had been living in the town for awhile and they all knew him..although the actor they chose is pretty hot :) I like Junior too though, totally feel the psycho vibe from him. I'm about halfway through the book now, so it was definitely a mistake to start watching the show haha I just wish for once they wouldn't change everything when making a book into a show/movie.
As for the book I'm surprised what a page turner it is! It seems like barely anything is happening and yet I can't wait to keep reading it! :)
I read UtD last year, so I'm joining the "readalong" discussion because I really want to know what other people think of it as they go. I'm going to be a little cryptic, though- as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Feel free to share your impressions, your complaints, whatever as we go along! :-) But remember, please leave constructive criticism and not just blatant flames. If you don't like the story, it always helps to explain WHY rather than to just state that you hate it.
Have fun!
