Aiden Sullivan’s Reviews > The Stand > Status Update

The switching of the characters that I have mentioned in my previous updates is continuing and I'm starting to like it more, while the characters aren't that memorable, they are likable characters nonetheless. I feel like this gives more freedom to the author, by allowing him to show events from multiple point of views.

I chose this book mainly because it was a Stephen King book and I enjoy his writing a lot, this book has met these expectations greatly so far. I'm not really having a struggle with the reading besides the constant changing of POV's but it isn't that bad, if I had friends that were into Stephen King books I would definitely recommend this book to them even though it would take quite a while to read.

The book is still introducing new characters and we haven't really revisited old ones yet, it is a very good book so far but that is the only thing I just don't agree with, I don't mind switching point of views, but it's difficult to keep track of all of the characters if we switch views every 5ish pages.

Fantastic book so far, it is a little confusing at times switching from a ton of point of views, it is difficult to remember which character is which. The characters are very entertaining though, and I will eventually be able to remember the characters. I don't really have many predictions, I assume the 10+ characters that have been introduced, will meet up at some point, or maybe be on opposite sides.
