Phew. Every year I try read the longest book on my TBR. And I have conquered it this year! That was epic. Very similar to The Stand. At times gruesome and horrific, at times touching and hopeful.
Just read again for the 4th time. Truly an epic novel.
This is the book that started it all for me. Full of rich characters and powerfully emotion. A post apocalypse novel full of twists and turns that will keep you riveted till the final page.
3.5 stars. Not much that can be said that hasn't already. Could have trimmed down the length, whereas I wanted even more pages from The Stand
