Short review:
World War Z was REALLY good. I was unsure if I would enjoy the format but the book was pretty riveting. I highly recommend it to anyone!
The Stand was such a disappointment. It came highly recommended. It was very interesting at the beginning but then it just got weird and kept getting weirder. I like me some weird, but this just felt like two different books to me. This was my first Stephen King read. It was epic in scale, but not my cup of tea.
