The Stand is an awesome book! The uncut version is just S.K's completed manuscript before it was edited!
Has anyone seen The Stand the movie?

The Stand (uncut) has more character depth than the original, so therefore is a better told story.

The movie sucks balls. Horrible translation.

Uncut version gives a much clearer picture IMO.
